Why is finding a willing NP to precept so difficult? I am desperately seeking an NP for Women's Health in San Antonio. As long as the practice sees >50% women, this is the only criteria. We've all been students trying to meet the requirements of our NP program and it is very stressful. We shouldn't have to pay > $2,000 for a preceptor. This duty is part of our professional practice to support new and upcoming students in the field. I have been a preceptor for 27 years, training new nurses in many fields of practice but mostly intensive care. I look forward to being the NP preceptor in the future. Please, if anyone is in San Antonio, Tx that is willing to precept, please let me know. I'll be forever grateful.

Bravo!! I am an NP Student in San Antonio. Desperately trying to secure one more NP to cover the Women's Health class. I have been nursing for 27 years and have trained many new nurses in intensive care. I loved being a preceptor and sharing my knowledge and experience along with providing encouragement for growth and advancement. After 27 years of nursing, I struggle to find a preceptor. This shouldn't be difficult. We all have been students in the past. It is part of our professional practice to give back. I also plan on signing up to precepting students once I am able in my practice as an NP. I applaud you for wanting to give back. I would appreciate any help at all in finding an NP who would be willing to share of their time to now help me complete my program. If there are any NPs out there who perform some gynecological practices in their current position, I would be grateful if you would be willing to help.
