Has anyone used ENP Network to find an NP Preceptor? It's 90.00 so wanting to see if anyone has received good results with it before I wasted my money. :bored:

Anecdotally I have not seen good results. One of the reasons I transferred to a school that provides preceptors...

I also read on Facebook that the contacts were outdated and those listed would not respond. I am not throwing away 90.00. I think I am just going to pay a preceptor service to find one for me. With the overpriced tuition of the local brick/mortar school....it ends up about the same cost and I don't have to attend class an hour away.

Before you throw out your money, take a look on your state's NP organizations. Student membership is quite cheap, and they may have much more local resources to direct you.

If there is no other choice: Find Nurse Practitioner Preceptors - Clinical Match Me

They charge like $15 per hour, so standard 224 or so hours rotation will be in realm of $3500. But, if I understand it right, they do not charge till you are matched with preceptor.

So I wasted my money. Contacted lots of people on the ENP site and no one ever called or emailed me back. Fortunately it was a discounted rate.

Moral of the story....don't waste money on the ENP site.

I contacted Clinical Match Me and they don't have preceptors in the Denver area at all. :no:

If you are really desperate there are several agencies who will find you preceptors guaranteed but the cost is usually 15ish for each hour...

I would gladly pay for a preceptor. I actually put an ad out on Craigslist but no one has responded. I have only found two placement services on the internet. Clinical Match Me doesn't have any in the Denver area and the other one never returned my call or email. I am not sure what to do at this point.

Google advanced practice prep , they have a clinical service with a guarantee.

I think advance practice prep is different. They help with skills prep.

I contacted Clinicalmatch me but unfortunately they can't find me coverage in Tacoma Washington. Desperation and faustration is an understatement. I know no one in Washington since we just moved here ( mil family )

ENP network is a waste of 90 dollars! I NEVER received a single response from any preceptor on their list!
