Finding the right preceptor for your nursing or healthcare program can be challenging. Preceptor.us makes the process simpler by helping students communicate their requirements, identify potential preceptor opportunities, and receive dedicated support throughout the placement process.
Whether you need an FNP, PMHNP, AGNP, AGACNP, AGPCNP, PNP, WHNP, or another qualified clinical preceptor, our team is here to help you navigate the process.
1. Tell Us About Your Program
Start by submitting your basic clinical placement requirements.
We'll ask for information such as:
- University or school
- Degree or program
- Clinical specialty
- Required clinical hours
- Preferred location
- Rotation start and end dates
- Any specific university requirements
2. We Review Your Requirements
Once we receive your request, our team reviews the information you provide.
We look at factors such as:

- Location
- Clinical hours
- Rotation dates
- Program requirements
- Preceptor qualifications
- Clinical site requirements
This helps us understand what type of preceptor opportunity may be appropriate for your rotation.
3. We Search for Potential Preceptor Opportunities
Our team works to identify potential preceptor opportunities that align with the information you've provided.
Depending on your requirements, opportunities may be available across different specialties, practice settings, and locations.
Availability can vary based on specialty, location, rotation dates, university requirements, and preceptor availability.
4. Your Dedicated Account Manager Assists You
You'll have a dedicated account manager to help guide you through the process.
Your account manager can assist with:
- Placement updates
- Preceptor-related questions
- Scheduling communication
- University requirements
- Required documentation

Instead of having to manage the process on your own, you have a dedicated point of contact.
5. We Coordinate Communication With the Preceptor
Communication Policy Notice
For placements coordinated through Preceptor.us, students should not independently contact or communicate directly with the preceptor unless specifically authorized by our team.
If you need to ask the preceptor a question or communicate something about your rotation, simply contact your dedicated account manager.
Your account manager will coordinate with the appropriate preceptor and assist you accordingly.
This helps keep communication organized and protects the professional relationship between the student, preceptor, and placement team.
6. Preceptor and Clinical Site Requirements Are Reviewed
Clinical placements may involve requirements from your university, clinical site, or program.
These may include:
- Professional credentials
- Licensure
- Practice information
- Clinical hours
- Site requirements
- University documentation
- Affiliation agreements
- Background or onboarding requirements
Requirements vary by program and university, so students should always follow their school's specific instructions.
7. University Approval
University Approval Notice
After a potential preceptor or clinical site has been identified, your university or program may need to review and approve the placement. Preceptor.us can assist with the coordination process, but final approval is determined by your university, program, or applicable clinical site.
8. Complete Your Clinical Onboarding
Once the appropriate approvals are received, you may need to complete onboarding requirements before beginning your clinical rotation.
Your account manager can help you understand the next steps and keep you informed about required documentation or communications.
9. Begin Your Clinical Rotation
After the required approvals and onboarding steps have been completed, you can move forward with your clinical rotation according to your university's requirements.
Your account manager remains available to help coordinate placement-related questions throughout the process.
