SummaryBackgroundWithin the preceptorship model of clinical teaching/learning, the creation of a cohesive relationship between a preceptor and a nursing student highly influences the overall success of the experience. Invariably, preceptors and students tend to be of different generations and as such, there exists within this context the potential for generational misunderstandings and conflict.DesignA phenomenological study guided by van Manen's approach to human science research was conducted.ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to explore the phenomenon of preceptorship in the intergenerational context.ParticipantsA purposive sample of seven preceptors and seven nursing students was recruited from an undergraduate nursing program.FindingsThe collective experience of all participants was illuminated through three key themes: being affirmed, being challenged, and being on a pedagogical journey. In this article we focus on encountering conflict, a key subtheme of being challenged, and one that emerged from the participants' narratives.ConclusionsThe study findings suggest that interpersonal conflict continues to be a reality in our profession, owing to which a collective effort must be made by nurse educators, practicing nurses, and nursing students to effect change and create a more cohesive culture. The findings have the potential to enhance generational understanding and foster a more cohesive culture in clinical practice settings.
