The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the expectations toward the role of nursing clinical preceptors through the perspective of nursing supervisors. The researcher collected data through focus group interview method and individual interviews, with purposive sampling. Participants were recruited from a regional teaching hospital in Taipei, Taiwan. Focus group interviews were conducted with 6 current head nurses twice and collected data of almost 22,000 words regarding their subjective experiences. We analyzed these data through the empirical research process suggested by Colaizzi (1978). The study’s results covered 3 major categories: (1) independent personality; (2) teaching consistency; and (3) steady character. This study showed the expectations of nursing supervisors toward the roles of nursing clinical preceptors, as well as divergent values and differences between senior nursing staffs and nursing clinical preceptors. From the above results, we suggested that nursing clinical preceptors must fulfill the above 3 expectations from nursing supervisors and nursing staff, in order to produce greater numbers of highly respected “New Nightingales”.
