NP preceptor

Published

Hello, all:

I am interested in UM flint DNP program, but have heard that the students have to find the clinical sites by their own. Any one here is in the program can put some thoughts on finding the preceptor.

Thanks

U of Detroit is a good program. I have former co-workers in Detroit who went there but have no experience precepting their students since they only have FNP. Wayne's advantage is that it also has a medical school so you're more than likely to interview with a physician who either graduated or trained there especially if you're staying in the area. Good luck to both you, Tinabean and DNPStudent. I've been checking out the openings in the Detroit area and it seems like the hospitals are still hiring for NP's. You guys will be fine. I have many connections in Detroit BTW.

Thanks Juan. I already have a gig. But if you know of anything in the low income/family practice arena please dont hesitate to let me know. Or something with loan forgiveness :)

My CIP is on enteral nutrition for critically ill adults. I already have my first DNP clinicals set up for this semester. I will be going to three sites to do clinicals (St. John Main, Henry Ford Main, and Beaumont). It's all word of mouth, and mostly people are willing to help you out. The DNP clinicals are very different from the NP clinicals...it's kind of confusing to be honest...

Hi DNPstudent!

I just graduated from a DNP/FNP program but I have a question? What are DNP clinicals? Just curious because all of my clinicals were go focused on the NP portion of the program.

The DNP clinicals are directly related to our CIPs. So for example, I am working with an ICU dietician for 200 hours this semester. Hours can also be in the realm of leadership, or health policy.

Hi DNPstudent I have a question regarding FNP clinical preceptors. I tried to PM you but your message box is full. Do you have any suggestions or leads you can share in the Detroit ? I start my prog 9/4 and students are required to find their own preceptors. Thanks! Tiffany

I am also applying to NP programs in the next few months. I would also be required to find my own preceptor. I work at a hospital in Detroit, but the school will not allow you do to your clinicals at your own hospital. Any suggestions on finding a preceptor? Any tips? I'm so worried that I will not be able to find one. I am going to do an Adult NP program, hopefully though Ball State, my second choice is Frontier and the FNP program.
