Precepting at the School of Nursing
A strong network of preceptors across New York State play an essential role in preparing our graduate students.
Why be a preceptor?
Precepting is a mutually rewarding experience in which you work with a graduate student over the course of a semester to provide a safe, supportive learning environment. Students consistently express how much they value the clinical experience, guidance, and mentorship offered by their preceptors as they build the skills needed for advanced practice.
We are committed to pairing our preceptors with bright, dedicated nursing and healthcare students, and work hard to match you with a student who will be a strong fit for your practice. Preceptors mentor students from across our Nurse Practitioner, Clinical Nurse Leader, Leadership in Health Care Systems, and Nursing Education master's programs.

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.
