Use this page as a planning companion, not as Walden University’s practicum manual. Deadlines, portals, and credential lists must come from the university.
Many Walden nursing students complete field experiences in a model where the student identifies a preceptor and site, then submits a university application by a published deadline. Walden publishes its own field experience resources; those pages are the authority for forms, portals, and credential lists.
Tell PreceptorFinder what your program requires. A team member reviews your request and works to identify preceptor options based on specialty, location, hours, and university rules.
