The number of Australian nurses undertaking higher degree studies is increasing considerably. The completion of a Doctor of Philosophy or Masters by Research project involves the investment of considerable time and other valuable resources on the part of the student. The successful completion of the degree will depend largely upon the relationship established between the supervisor and supervisees. However, somewhat surprisingly, there is very little information to
guide students in the selection of a supervisor(s) or how to effectively manage this relationship. This paper, the first of a two part series, is based on the author’s experience of supervision from both sides of the fence. It provides practical tips for supervisees in relation to: selecting the right supervisor; finding potential supervisors; contacting potential
supervisors, meeting potential supervisors, entering into a supervisory relationship, and dealing with problems within the relationship. This, the first of two papers, presents tips for the supervisees, while the second concentrates on supervisors.
