Clinical rotations in Texas

Students and preceptors on Precept Now come from across Texas, including Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin and El Paso. 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 Texas

Houston: home to the world’s largest medical center.
Dallas–Fort Worth: a huge metro with many large health systems.
San Antonio: academic and military medicine.
Austin and Central Texas: a fast-growing region, including Waco and Temple.
El Paso, the Rio Grande Valley and West Texas: border communities and rural areas with high need.

Texas covers huge rural areas as well as large metro health systems, so students willing to precept outside the big cities often find more availability.

Texas NP practice environment

Texas is classified as a restricted practice state by AANP. Texas NPs practice under delegation from a physician, including a prescriptive authority agreement for prescribing.

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