Having Problem Locating Preceptor

Hello all, I am a registered nurse of 25 plus years and have returned to school (online program with brick and mortar located 700 plus miles away) to obtain my BSN. I am three classes shy of completion. Unfortunately, I suffered some life changing health issues that have left me with less than 25% of my vision. If I am able to finish my degree, I hope to return to nursing in the area of telephonic triage or case management. My issue is that I need a preceptor to finish my degree and a facility that will agree to take me on. My former employer is NOT an option. I have licensure in Virginia and DC and have contacted all the hospitals in this area and am unable to locate a facility willing to assist me. I have even become desperate enough to advertise on Craigslist. I have contacted the instructor and am awaiting a response. Does anyone have suggestions? I am open to all suggestions! Thanks much for your time.

    Well, I am not a nurse yet, but I have been a teacher for quite some time. What I am about to suggest may not apply to you, but, hopefully, will give you an idea, or, at least, point you in the right direction. When I was in school to become a teacher, I was required to do student-teaching. The school assisted in securing the classroom and teacher for me. Granted teachers are busy, as a way of thank you my school provided the teacher with a voucher to attend a 3 credit course at my school for free. Does your school provide similar assistance? What I mean is, does your school provide possible preceptors? Maybe if preceptors knew there was some kind of compensation, they would be more forthcoming?

    It is the student's responsibility to find a preceptor. I have advertised on Craigslist and can/will offer financial compensation for the time involved. I am just at my wt's end! I never dreamed it would be this difficult.
