How students from this university usually get stuck
Grand Canyon University nursing students, including online NP students, typically must align preceptors with GCU’s current practicum requirements. Searching “GCU preceptor” is common; the university still approves the site.
Collect the practicum handbook items first: credentials, hour type, and submission method. Then search. GCU-specific paperwork cannot be skipped because a clinician said yes.
A practical note
Include “Grand Canyon University” and the course name in the first email so the preceptor knows which packet they are signing.
