Finding Preceptors in Boston

Published

I'm in one of the FNP programs in Boston (don't want to name the place right now--don't want to offend anyone). I'm frustrated with the clinical placement situation. We were told that the program would place all of us, that there were plenty of options available. Well, we're a week into the summer semester, and I still don't have a placement. I was told that I had one, then told that I had one but a contract needed to be made, then was just told that it may not work out after all, that the contract is expired and that I should look for some options on my own. Some other people in my program haven't been placed yet, either. As it is, the tentative placement I was given is in a location that I may not be able to get to, and I told them this months ago.

Is it like this everywhere in Boston??

I have actually been considering transferring to a different NP program, because I have had issues with disorganization at my school. Overall I like the classes and instructors, but the administrative stuff has been a huge headache. I'm wondering if it would be better anywhere else, though.

Thank you!
