I'm looking into Gonzaga's online psych mental health np program, and am also concerned about finding preceptors. Anyone have any personal experience with the program? I've heard some pretty scary stories from other schools about student's progression through online programs being delayed for lack of a clinical placement. I called the admissions counselor for advice, and he seemed surprised that this is ever an issue for someone living in a major city. When I asked if the school can provide a list of practitioners who have been Gonzaga preceptors in the past, he said this would probably be a breach of confdentiality under FERPA. I rather doubt this, but perhaps the school has an agreement with preceptors to keep their info private. I'm fairly optimistic that if I start early, I can find preceptors--but I've been told to line things up very early to avoid problems.
