Seeking FNP Preceptor in the ATX Area

[sweetmissdixie]

I will be entering my full-time clinical practicum around April 2016 and am seeking FNP preceptors in Austin, TX and surrounding areas. My school requires a minimum of 675 clinical hours and also requires the following minimum number of experiences:

 5 Newborn exams

 15- two weeks to 5 years well exams

 15- two weeks to 5 years episodic

exams

 15- six to 12 years well exams

 15- six to 12 years episodic exams

 5- 13 to 19 years well exams

 5- 13 to 19 years episodic exams

 300 Adult episodic or wellness care

 50 Speculum/bi-manual exams

 150 client visits for chronic illness

care

 10 New antepartum

 30 Return antepartum

My university does offer monetary reimbursement and continuing education to preceptors. Please let me know if you would be interested. I appreciate your time and consideration -- do not hesitate to contact me with questions or concerns.

Please note: I have already contacted available preceptors from the TNP membership site. The Austin APN membership site allows you to see if there are people interested in precepting, but requires a $90 payment to be able to contact preceptors (this privilege is also only good for 90 days, then you have to pay again). If you have additional thoughts on ways to find preceptors, I am all ears!

Hi,

I was looking for any advice for finding preceptors and came across your post. I too am a nursing student at the University of South Alabama in the psychiatric nurse practitioner program. I am looking for preceptors to start clinical in August 2016 in Austin, TX. Were you able to find any preceptors? I checked out ENPnetwork but it costs $90 for 90 days and I am looking for other options instead.

Thanks.

Hi I just started my FNP program and I'm looking for a preceptor that's in Austin. I will not be starting clinical till the end of next year. I know it's very hard to find one because there are many students in Austin. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could steer me in the right direction.

Hi,

I would suggest that you join an organization for APRNs where you live. I am currently in the BSN-DNP program at the University of South Alabama, Mobile, AL. I joined these organizations-Austin Advanced Practice Nurses, Psychiatric Advanced Practice Nurses, Texas Nurse Practitioners. The Austin Advanced Practice Nurses is geared towards FNP-at least that's what I got when I attended my first meeting and met a lot of FNPs. You can mingle and introduce yourself and see if you find a preceptor there. Also check facebook for a group for preceptors, FNPs and ask to join. Good luck!
