Question about FNP program clinical sites/preceptors

[HospiceRN08]

I have applied for admission to the FNP program for fall admission, but I have a major concern about whether Chamberlain really assists students in arranging their clinical/practicum sites. I have opted out of other online programs because I do not like the idea of having to arrange for my own preceptor and clinical sites. I specifically asked the enrollment advisor and he said that Chamberlain has approved clinical sites in each state and a nursing practicum advisor will arrange the clinical site and preceptor for me, but that sounded almost too good to be true. He couldn't give more details so I didn't quite believe him.

Can anyone who has been through the program explain to me how that works? Details please. I am just worried that I will have a hard time finding a clinical site and finding a preceptor who is willing to commit for several months.

I am in the program but am only 3 classes in and haven't started looking too much for preceptors, but I think you are pretty much on your own, from what I hear from other students. I am starting to think about it now. Good luck!

I am applying for the 10/26 start date and was required to find my own preceptor and have approval before being enrolled in classes. My preceptor/site was approved today. That's a huge stress relief. As far as I know, you have to find your own preceptor.
