Chamberlain FNP CLINICALS

[ohsnapples]

Hi! Is anyone in the Chamberlain FNP online program? How does clinicals work? I keep hearing that we pretty much have to find our own preceptor? But I talk to an academic advisor and she said that if we can't find an preceptor or clinical site, that they will be able to provide us with one? I just want to know which is true....

Both are true. I start my clinicals in Sept. They encourage you to find your own and do it early you have to have the process started 2 sessions before each one so for my Sept session i had to get the ok from the person and my part of the paper work in by the first of May. The contract is done between then and when i start. I myself have already found my next session site for end of Oct thru mid Dec. If I had not found a place by the first of May they would have helped me but they want us to look first. Luckly I have found 2 Dr.s who are welling to take me that have patients in the unit i work on. They do primary care and have primary care clinic.

Thanks for replying scrubbing! So have you ever had them find a clinical preceptor for you? How did that work out? I'm just worried about it because we don't have a lot of nurse practitioners and it's hard to be able to follow our doctors at my work.
