Hello Everyone, I am currently taking my last two classes at Capella University for the MSN Informatics program. In order for me to graduate from the program, I must find my own preceptor and site to complete my 200 practicum hours. I have been inquiring for months, but it seems to be extremely hard to find a preceptor on my own in the nursing informatics field. I reside in Queens, NY, and I would be extremely grateful, if I could find someone willing to help me or refer me to someone who can. Currently I work for Northwell Health System, I requested a preceptor here but it seems that no one is willing to commit. Now, I do not know what to do and where to look for a preceptor. I have been a nurse for 20 years, I have ER, Med-Surg, and Ambulatory Surgery experience. I have worked with Sunrise system for the last 8 years. I am used to work at a fast pace, I learn fast, also I am very professional, and respectful person. If I don't find a preceptor I will not be able to apply for my practicum classes and graduate, even if I complete all my classes. Thank you very much in advance for any help or recommendation.
