Clinical sites-yikes!

Between a rock and a hard place-I have 3 weeks to find a new clinical site. My preceptor is leaving the clinical I am currently at. I will be starting my final semester Jan. 25th. Has anyone ever utilized any preceptor finding service such as NP Hub? Is it reliable? Worth the cost? 

I will be calling at least 10 providers tomorrow to try and find a site myself.

Thank you

Yeah this is a nightmare scenario... I would start doing walk ins at small private practices. Easier to get into, less paperwork, less admin personnel to fight. My faculty had trouble getting us in may places. Or maybe ask another student to share with you. My preceptor/mentor had about 3-4 students rotating at one time this last year lmao.... made her head spin.

My clinical site closed in the middle of my last semester, leaving me 150 clinical hours short. I reached out to MD acquaintances I had met during my previous rotation hours and was able to find three preceptors to cover the remaining hours. Unfortunately my graduation is one semester delayed, but it will all work out for the best. Good luck! Sorry I don't know about preceptor sites, but I think I've seen a couple threads that people have used them with varying levels of success.
