Abstrakt: Background: Respiratory students spend hours in practicums with hospital employees as preceptors. What are the essential skills preceptors need to effectively teach clinically? This is not a new question; research continues to be recommended in this area.
Methods: Regional respiratory students were invited to participate in a qualitative survey describing their perceptions of clinical practicums. Responses were coded by themes.
Results: 89 students were invited; 30 participated. The most rewarding experiences occurred when students did hands-on care. Frustrating experiences were when preceptors did not want them. Preceptors were helpful if they asked questions and were positive. Learning was hindered when preceptors complained and were rude.
Conclusion: Students in this study learned best doing hands-on care with encouraging preceptors.
