Students and preceptors on Precept Now come from across Delaware, including Wilmington, Dover, Newark and the Sussex County beach towns. You can search for preceptors by specialty and location, then reach out directly to arrange paperwork, schedules and site requirements with your school.

Major areas for rotations in Delaware

Wilmington and New Castle County: the state’s largest health systems and a major children’s hospital.
Newark: a university town with student health and community practices.
Dover and Kent County: the capital, plus military and rural health care.
Sussex County: beach towns and agricultural communities with a growing retiree population.

Delaware is small enough that students can often reach sites across the state, as well as in nearby Philadelphia and Maryland.

Delaware NP practice environment

Delaware is classified as a full practice state by AANP. Nurse practitioners licensed by the Delaware Board of Nursing can evaluate patients, diagnose, order and interpret tests, and prescribe without a required physician collaboration or supervision agreement. Delaware NPs complete a transition-to-practice period of collaborative practice (two years and 4,000 hours) before practicing independently.

Practice laws change often. Confirm current rules with the Delaware Board of Nursing and AANP’s State Practice Environment map.
