Ethically involving students in faculty research.

Students in nursing education programs have a right to privacy as they engage in their learning. At the same time, their faculty may be engaged in nursing education research in order to facilitate student learning. These two goals may conflict when faculty engage students as participants in nursing education research while at the same time facilitating their learning. Faculty as researchers with their students may encounter a conflict of interest in collecting data for their research while providing learning experiences for the same students. As a basic principle, students must be engaged as participants in an ethical manner that respects their rights for privacy. In this article, we explore the issues of faculty as researchers of their students and suggest strategies for addressing these issues.

Promoting effective preceptorship experiences.

Preceptors and students alike want and need a positive preceptorship experience. There are some factors, however, that must be considered when arranging such experiences, including sufficient time, workload management, use of space, monetary payment for preceptorship, preparation for the role, the one-to-one relationship, and the learning environment. This article concludes with specific strategies that address these factors. The first uses a theoretical model, one advocated by the authors, the Preceptor Enabling Model. This model delineates the roles and responsibilities of students, preceptors, staff, and faculty. Preceptors, too, need preparatory workshops, paid time for orientation to the role, evaluation of preceptors, and finally, support.
