The objective of this study was to improve the clinical practice environment for student nurses through an increased understanding of the relationships and of the situations in which that practice occurs. This project sought to assess a new model of supervision and support based on a team approach, the team being a registered nurse, graduate nurse and a student nurse, that supported students, graduates and staff. Results indicate that the Team Leader Model demonstrated provided an improved allocation model of student supervisors, students felt a greater sense of reality of practice, and graduates appreciated the support of the Team Leader. The model has been perceived by staff and students as a practice that can provide for a better clinical practice placement for the student.
