Abstract
Abstract This Student Transitional Experience into Practice (STEP) study explored differences in perceptions of practice readiness expectations between associate degree student nurses and their preceptors after a clinical capstone experience. The STEP study is a quantitative, retrospective design, secondary data analysis using a practice readiness survey delivered to associate degree nursing students and their nurse preceptors. Student and preceptor perceptions of practice readiness varied significantly across skill competency domains.
