Find a nursing preceptor for your clinical rotation

What this page helps with

This page works best when you already know your degree track, specialty or population focus, required hours, state, and target dates. PreceptorFinder uses that information to narrow the search instead of treating every request like a generic near-me query.

If you are still earlier in the process, read the how-to guide and return when you are ready to submit a complete request.

Why students use PreceptorFinder instead of random outreach

• The request is organized by program, specialty, hours, dates, and location instead of a vague near-me search.
• The site also includes specialty, state, and university guides so you can confirm the right branch before you start contacting people.
• Where verified public directory inventory exists, students can also review marketplace pages built from real profiles rather than placeholder content.
• Submitting the request does not guarantee placement, but it creates a cleaner starting point than cold outreach without your requirement sheet.

What happens after you submit

1. PreceptorFinder reviews your contact details and clinical requirements.
2. We may follow up by email, phone, or text if information is missing or if a possible option exists.
3. If a potential preceptor is identified, you remain responsible for confirming fit and submitting the university’s approval materials.
4. Your program decides whether the preceptor and site meet current rules.

What to have ready

• University and degree track (for example BSN, MSN, DNP, FNP, PMHNP, or AGACNP).
• Required hours and preferred dates.
• Specialty or patient population.
• State and city, plus any site limits your program publishes.
