Any more advice is much appreciated

I have called the available resources from Walden's list, cold called every single large hospital, family practice office, private practice office, spoke to recruiters/office managers/HR, sent emails to every email address I could get ahold of, asked every single person I work with if they have any contacts in CA. At this point I am at a loss. I've seriously made over 200 calls and left countless voicemails. When I call large facilities they all kind of give me a round about and its very difficult to get in touch with the person I need to. When I finally get there I leave messages, followup, and no answer or I have the wrong department.

Hello, Yes, I downloaded the spreadsheet and contacted all of the options that applied to my clinical in my surrounding area. It was of no help at all. There were only 3 that applied to my first clinical, one of the already had a student, one said they don't take students at all, and they are full of students and are not accepting anymore. Any other suggestions?

I'm in Waldens FNP program. How have you gone about finding preceptors up until now? Are people just not willing to take a student?

Hello everyone, I am currently an NP student and am scheduled to start my practicums at the end of August. The problem is that my husband and I currently live in Minnesota but are moving to Stockton, California for his job at the end of July. What is the best way to find preceptors in an area where I don't currently live? I have no connections in the area and am not going to be able to fly and meet any potential preceptors. Any advice is appreciated!
