NP preceptorship

Hi guys,

I am frustrated to tears trying to secure a preceptor for my pmhnp practicum coming up this January. I'm enrolled in the University of Cincinnati and they are not willing to help in the least. They basically have told me they have nothing to do with the preceptors and that if I do not find one I cannot proceed with the program. I have contacted everyone in the my area-Burlington, VT- and am having no success. I have even considered relocating and am still having trouble getting people to repsond. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have tried everything and it is so depressing to think that after all this hard work and money I'll have to drop out of the program and go back to work to pay off my loans. This is the last cohort for the pmhnp before credential changes by the ANA; therefore, all my courses may not transfer into the new revised program. If anyone out there has any suggestions or knows of someone that would be willing to precept I'd be so grateful. I am 7 months pregnant and this is taking quite a toll on me; I am having trouble sleeping and am checking my e-mail and voice mail constantly in hopes that someone will have the decency in returning my call. Thanks for listening and any advice would be so welcome,

Amanda

Sure, it was an article I read comparing online education and in-person. Attrition rates for online programs are much, much higher. I will try and dig it up for you. :)

I would be interested in reading it as well!
