Abstract

Background: Proliferation of Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs has increased the demand for quality preceptors. This program evaluation project was developed to identify alumni perspectives of their precepted experience. DNP graduates offered insights that could be a future foundation for further exploration of the essential nature of the preceptor role in the DNP student experience.

Method: Individual interviews of graduates (n = 30) were conducted anonymously via Zoom (Zoom Communications, Inc.) using a semistructured question format. Data were analyzed using the six phases of thematic analysis process described by Braun and Clarke (2006).

Results: An overarching theme was that preceptors are essential to DNP education. Participants discussed finding and compensating preceptors, as well as preceptor expectations and relationships with students.

Conclusion: High-quality preceptors are essential to DNP education. Alumni described a deep appreciation for preceptor expertise. Research is needed to further investigate graduates' insights and recommendations. [J Nurs Educ. 2025;64(2):115-120.].
