Abstract
Nursing is a profession in which all nurses are required to demonstrate educational functions in order to support the development of new graduate nurses. Research outcomes were accumulated that contribute to the development of preparatory education for preceptors supporting the development of new graduate nurses. In this paper, the current situation of preceptors and their preparatory education is identified, and four accumulated research outcomes that contribute to the development of preparatory education for preceptors are introduced. Also, a specific training program is proposed that applies these four research outcomes to provide preparatory education for preceptors who will instruct new graduate nurses.
