Looking for Preceptor - Long Island

[ifoundnemo]

I was recently accepted into a MSN program and am finding the task of securing a preceptor very daunting! I did not think it would be so hard, but I have not been able to find anyone with availability for the Fall 2014 semester!

I was hoping that someone on the board was interested or knew someone who was interested in taking a student! I am currently enrolled in an Adult Health Nurse Practitioner program and need to find a preceptor (ANP, FNP, or MD) to complete 120 hours with!! I am located in the Huntington/Northport area.

If anyone has any suggestions for me or has precepted with someone before who is willing to take students, I'd greatly appreciate it!!

Are you a student member of a The NPA (thenpa.org)? If not become one as their Long Island chapter has a preceptor list. The main organization also has a preceptor list that you can access if you are a member. I'm currently in a program that you have to find your own preceptors (sounds like you are in my program based on the hours you need to do). My fellow students who live on the island don't seem to have a lot of problems finding available preceptors whereas in NY city where I live I had a hard time. Thank God I will be starting my last semester.
