Precept Now helps family nurse practitioner (FNP) students find licensed clinical preceptors anywhere in the United States, and helps clinicians who want to teach connect with students who need rotations.
Find a preceptor as a student or join free as a preceptor.
What FNP rotations involve
FNP students need clinical experience caring for patients across the lifespan, from newborns to older adults.
Common rotation settings include family practice and primary care clinics, community health centers, urgent care, retail clinics, and pediatric and women’s health practices for population-specific hours.
Who can precept FNP students?
Most FNP students are precepted by an FNP, another primary care NP, or a family medicine or internal medicine physician; your school will confirm which preceptor credentials it accepts.
How many clinical hours do NP students need?
The 2022 National Task Force standards for nurse practitioner education call for at least 750 direct patient care hours, and many NP programs have moved to that requirement. Check your program’s handbook for the exact number of hours in your specialty.
