HELP! In need of NP preceptor ASAP!

Hello everyone.

I'm currently in my 2nd year of NP school and starting my first clinical rotation by the end of this month and need a preceptor (either MD or NP) that is a primary care provider in internal medicine.

Just to give you the back story, I initially had a preceptor but then she tells me earlier this week that she can't precept me the full 225 hrs as initially agreed upon. So now I have to find a new preceptor. I've called at least 50 providers (no exageration) which none said yes. I even called the Illinois Society of Advanced Practice Nurses as one person suggested, but you have to pay $100 to become a member and they can try to find you a preceptor but it's not guaranteed. Unfortunately, my school places the responsibility of finding a preceptor solely on the student.

Please help!

    Keep calling ...I called over 100 before I got a yes...my magic number was 110 and that was for peds which is notoriously hard rotation to get. Good luck and start using any resources you can think of ...coworkers, friends neighbors and visiting potential sites.

    How do you know if you're getting an effective preceptor? or do you take what you can get?

    I will first research their credentials and clinical experience, the type of practice and the reviews they get, then I would eventually interview withe the provider while telling them my expectations.
