Major areas students often consider
Chicago, suburban Cook and collar counties, Springfield, Peoria, and Rockford are separate outreach lists.
What still has to be true
A preceptor in Illinois is useful only if specialty, license, site policy, and your university’s current rules line up. PreceptorFinder does not control hospital credentialing or board of nursing decisions.
Confirm Illinois Board of Nursing and university rules. Hospital credentialing in Chicago can dominate AGACNP timelines.

If you want help locating options in Illinois, submit a student request with specialty and hours included.
