When nursing entered the tertiary sector in 1985 the preclinical visit was introduced and became accepted practice. The initial purpose of the preclinical visit was to inform and prepare Clinical Facilitators and Nursing Unit Managers for undergraduate nursing students' clinical experience. The preclinical visit was perceived as a significant factor which potentially impacts on the quality of student learning within the clinical environment. Initial planning of the preclinical visit shapes and determines the outcomes of the clinical experience for all participants. Students personal and professional development often depend upon how well they are received in the ward area. Despite the emphasis placed on the significance of the preclinical visit, its effectiveness has not been evaluated. Ten years after the introduction of nursing to tertiary education, the preclinical visit was evaluated by a group of academics and clinicians who perceived that the preclinical visit was not achieving the desired outcomes. A survey using a convenience sample of Nursing Unit Managers and Clinical Facilitators was conducted at a major metropolitan teaching hospital in New South Wales. This paper reviews the findings of the study evaluating the preclinical visit. From the results of the study it is evident that a structured, clear format is required for the preclinical visit to be effective.
