Looking for MSN Informatics preceptor

[Nurse Beth, MSN]

First, inquire with your MSN program to see if they provide preceptor matching services or have a database of potential preceptors, or even past students.

There are preceptor matchinh services online, but they are mostly for NP students.

Cold call. Try calling the Staff and Development department of a local hospital and tell them you're looking for a preceptor. They may be able to put you in touch with someone in their Informatics department.

Here are the likely requirements:

Preceptor Requirements

• A master's degree in nursing and an unencumbered, current nursing license are typically required. 
• A minimum of two years of work experience in a relevant nursing informatics setting, such as EHR enhancement, data management, or workflow mapping, is often necessary. 
• The preceptor must be willing and have the time available to mentor you through your practicum and help you meet your learning objectives.

Best wishes,

Nurse Beth

In addition to the excellent advice your received from @Nurse Beth above, you might consider pasting in either the Nursing Informatics or Post Graduate Students areas.

Best wishes.
