Some programs allow private practices for nursing or NP hours. Others require specific facility types, existing affiliation agreements, or a minimum panel size. The only reliable answer is your current practicum manual.
Questions to ask before you spend weeks on outreach
- Does this course allow a private practice or independent clinic?
- Must the preceptor hold a specific certification?
- Will the site complete onboarding and evaluations on your timeline?
If the site type is allowed and you still cannot locate a clinician, submit a matching request.
If you need help locating a preceptor after you understand your program’s rules, tell PreceptorFinder what your program requires.
