University guide

Looking for a Purdue Global nursing preceptor?

PreceptorFinder is an independent service that helps nursing students explore preceptor options. We are not part of Purdue Global and we cannot approve a Purdue Global preceptor or site.

How students from this university usually get stuck

Purdue Global nursing students, including those in competency-paced formats, still need approved preceptors for clinical courses. Pacing of didactic work does not remove site approval.

Ask how far in advance a clinical application must be submitted relative to your intended start. Competency-based calendars can make “next term” less obvious than a traditional semester map.

A practical note

If your pace changes, tell any potential preceptor immediately so their calendar is not based on an obsolete date.
