title: Self-assessment of Project 2000 supervision.
abstract: This study explored the views of nurses on the important issues associated with their supervision of Project 2000 students. Small-group interviews took place with clinicians from medical, surgical and elderly-care areas in two large hospitals. The issues raised were then incorporated into a questionnaire which was distributed to Project 2000 supervisors. Satisfaction was generally expressed with preparatory courses, but there was a perceived lack of knowledge about the Project 2000 course. Practitioners enjoyed and felt capable of fulfilling their supervisory role. However, the numbers of students and the time needed were seen as problematic and left practitioners feeling responsible but poorly supported. More emphasis on communication between college and service personnel, particularly in respect of liaison and link functions, seems to be needed.
