Why Be a Preceptor?

Being a preceptor is a mutually rewarding experience. Our preceptors work with the brightest and most dedicated nursing and health care students. We work hard to match you with a student who will be a good fit within your practice.

Preceptor Benefits

For those considering precepting, I would encourage them to do it! We all work hard and there never seems to be enough time. However, I believe precepting is a protective measure against burn out and compassion fatigue. My students inspire and remind me of why our work matters. Sharing your time and knowledge with future providers is a meaningful and worthwhile endeavor!

Nurse practitioners are now doing more than ever. I want to be part of that growth and help develop the future. I enjoy seeing a new provider develop their skills. I encourage you to give back to your profession. Sharing your experience may provide the student or new nurse practitioner the encouragement or fresh perspective that they need.
