Supervision has a strong impact on students` professional development. It is during clinical education that students will receive help in linking theory and practice. This study aimed to describe the meaning of good supervision among nursing students in clinical practice. A qualitative design was used. Nine nursing students in western Sweden, who had all experienced good supervision in clinical practice, were interviewed.The interviews were analyzed using a descriptive phenomenological methodology.The meaning of the phenomenon, good supervision in clinical education among nursing students, was shown as the students were gradually piloted to increased responsibility. The students felt secure with their supervisor and the environment in which supervision takes place, and have continuously moments for communication and reflection with their supervisor. A prerequisite is that the supervisor is involved and actively present. Good supervision also means that students have confidence to act independently, and have the opportunity to prepare for new situations. Finally good supervision means that the supervisor shows an understanding attitude to the students` lack of clinical experience.
