The course is NRS 465 Applied Evidence-Based Project and Practicum for 10 hours/week, totaling to 100 hours. 50 of these hours need to focused on Community, 50 of the hours need to be focused on Leadership.

Is this a pre-licensure program? I have never heard of a pre-licensure program forcing their students to find their own preceptors, or even an undergraduate nursing program or any kind doing this.

I have RN license but I did three years associate degree in  my state requires BSN, so doing online BSN at GCU.

Most  of student work at hospitals they don't have issues like me .

Certainly am not working at hospital.

thank you for asking

Ah, I see. Regardless, I sympathize with your situation. I dislike any program that forces students to find their own preceptors.

Hi. I was curious if you found a preceptor. I was supposed to start the class(465) but still have not found a place that will take a student. It's frustrating they don't help at all especially when you are paying big bucks. And 10 hr a week if you are working normal hours m-f is ridiculous

I promise I will be a preceptor for future, I can see how nursing students struggle to find preceptors everywhere, the requirements make it a little challenge for online nursing students .

Thank you
