Looking for NP preceptor for May 2015!

U.S.A. Minnesota

Published

Hi everyone!

I am currently a part-time FNP MSN student at George Washington University. I am desperately looking for a NP preceptor for May 2015 to obtain 200 adult hours around the Twin Cities. It can be an adult clinic or a diverse family clinic. Willing to travel!

I had to relocate to MN from PA in July so it's been very difficult to locate preceptors without a solid network like I had back in PA. Any leads would be super helpful! My experience as an RN has been in the emergency room.

I am also looking for preceptors for Peds, Ob/gyn, and Family hours in Fall 2015, and Spring 2016.

Thank you so much for your time!

Specializes in FNP.

I had good luck in rural clinics; worked with a midwife at a birthing center for my OB hours too. Starting to get tough, I hear from current students, even in MN schools. good luck!

Thanks so much for your reply! Yeah, everywhere I've contacted either are filled (even for a year and a half with students), don't want to take students, don't want to initiate a new contract, or only take local students from its serving area. My coworker is set to graduate soon from a local program and he said he had such a hard time getting clinical as well. It's frustrating and disheartening that we invest so much to be able to get that degree and take care of patients as an NP, yet it appears impossible to find a preceptor..

I have been contacting a lot of community health centers, usually the clinic managers are out of the office and I have to leave a voicemail. I will find more rural clinics further outside of the Twin Cities and see if anything turns up. Do you have any leads for family or adult clinics?

Thanks so much for your reply again!
