FNP programs help find preceptors?

[indomie23]

Hello!

I'm looking into applying to a FNP program, and need help in finding a good school to attend.

Which schools arrange preceptors for their students?

For finding jobs, do I need worry if I took my MSN/FNP at an online school?

Shoot me some FNP school suggestions!

My background/current plans:

-1 year of ICU experience, still working ICU

-3.35 GPA..

-Completing my BSN online this summer, thru WGU

-Currently live in TN, but "home" is WA

-I want to eventually reside and work in the West Coast

-Preferring an MSN program right now, and if so start this Fall or Winter

-May want to do house calls, outpt clinic, medical mission trips as a NP

I'm also worried about not getting into a program based off my grades/experience...should I take the GRE?

Any other advice/networking opportunities are welcome for this murse! Thanks!

In the PNW U of Washington, Oregon Health & Science U and Seattle U all find preceptors (or at least offer significant support in finding them). Gonzaga will help you find preceptors if you live in WA. Only draw back is at least the first 3 require applications well in advance - so you could apply this fall, but wouldn't start until the following fall.
