PNP Preceptors: Pediatric NP Clinical Rotations

Precept Now helps pediatric nurse practitioner (PNP) 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 PNP rotations involve

PNP students care for infants, children and adolescents, in either a primary care or acute care track.

Common rotation settings include pediatric primary care offices, school-based clinics, pediatric urgent care, children’s hospitals and pediatric specialty clinics.

Who can precept PNP students?

Pediatric rotations are usually precepted by a PNP, an FNP with a large pediatric panel, or a pediatrician.

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.
