Hi everyone! 

I'm an FNP student at Chamberlain University and moving to Champaign, IL this coming October (originally from New Jersey). I would like to secure preceptors around the area and I'm having a hard time finding one. Does anyone know how I can get connected, or have any tips for looking for one? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
