when I was in school they assigned me a preceptor. many states offer internships just before you graduate from school. preceptor and internship are 2 different things though.
if you have to find your own preceptor, then find a nurse that you like/respect that you've worked clinicals with. that would be my suggestion.
how far are you from graduation?

After this semester I graduate (our school is so small that we can only have one grad. for grad and undergrad) and then I think I have to go back for a 6 week seminar then 6 weeks (40hrs/wk) we have to do our preceptorship. I asked last semester and we get to pick our own area of interest/hospital and preceptor if we have one in mind. OUr teachers have told us to precept at the hospital/area that we would like to work bc most l ikely they will hire us on. I am thinking about either ER or ICU. I have an old clinical instructor in mind.

A friend of mine told me today that we have to find our own preceptor. So how does one go about doing this? Someone else told me schools assign a preceptor in a field you choose. I know this will all be explained to me when class starts but I'm to curious to wait. Do hospitals offer preceptorships like internships?
