Looking for PMHNP preceptor in Maryland

Published

I am a PMHNP student in Maryland and am desperately looking for outpatient pediatric Psych(100 hours in person) and adult preceptor (150 hours in person).I don't mind paying for clinical rotation because I have called and emailed to more than 50 practice and nobody accept a student. Please help

Try Maryland NP association. Also, your school needs to put in more effort than you in finding a preceptor.

This comment is not directed to the OP but how can a directly paid preceptor be neutral. A preceptor paid by an organization that has the mission to educate can have strict standards on student performance. I just wonder if an individual preceptor will just say" the certification test will winnow them out"

Decades ago  I knew an NP and her husband in joint practice. She told me that they were not precepting NPs anymore because 'their patients' deserved the best. 

This may contradict what I say about the participant of the staff nurses when being on the floor. I am there and in my state a faculty member HAS to be there. The students are not alone and a staff member can discuss the progress or lack of progress with the instructor.

When I had a Walden student who could not arrive on time, etc I was told just pass her. From her  Walden faculty  "she has children, a full time job and full time school"

I don’t precept or ever entertain students who haven’t been working in their specialty at least a few years as an RN prior to starting their NP. nope nope nope

 You’re not invested in your career. Why should I be?
