In need of NP preceptor for Spring 2013 in Massachusetts

[jenmac30]

I am in desperate need to find a preceptor for the Spring 2013 Advanced Health Assessment class. I live in the Southern Massachusetts (New Bedford) Area and am willing to travel as far as 50 miles.

This class only requires 1 day a week with a total of 90 hours.

I had a preceptor set to go, only for the company to call me during finals (1 week before Christmas) and tell me that there will be no preceptorships this Spring based on a merger.

I have been out going to many offices and calls with no luck, since it is so late.

I will be happy to send my resume and requirements. Thank you for consideration.

Sorry, I don't live in your area, but do you have a hospital district or underinsured/uninsured healthcare system nearby? The patients are really nice, and the staff is always overworked and looking for an extra set of hands. Good Luck!

Sorry to hear about your struggles. I was in the same boat needing pedi and ob/gyn for a total of 225 hours, and called 60 facilities without success. A former coworker and recent FNP grad hooked me up, or I probably would not be able to graduate in May. Being so close to the start of school (I return 28 January), finding clinical placement will be a daunting task. Have you tried Minute Clinic?? I also live in Mass, so i do understand your struggles. I feel my school dropped the ball on clinical placement, as they new we needed placement since the beginning of the fall semester......I wonder if we attend the same school...Good luck!!!!
