For the Nurse Practitioner Student
Precepting Matching
Congratulations on your decision to further your educational and professional development by becoming a nurse practitioner! This opportunity can be simultaneously exciting and frustrating as the responsibility most likely falls on you to secure a preceptor. Unfortunately, many schools do not provide a list of preceptors for you to choose from and locating a preceptor who actually wants to precept or have the time to do so can be difficult. Some students are actually dropped or forced to wait out one or more semesters from their NP program because they are unable to find a preceptor. We understand the struggle and want you to succeed, so let us help you take some of this pressure off!
Here’s a list of some of the placement specialties we can help you with:

For the Preceptor
Become a Paid Preceptor
Quality nurse practitioners are in high demand within the workforce more than ever. However, in order to contribute to this level of expectation, they must be provided with efficient clinical time with preceptors who are not only experienced but who are willing to teach. As a preceptor, you may have the desire to share the knowledge and culture of the health care provider, but work demands along with other barriers can create challenges at times. Research indicates that most preceptors want to be compensated and recognized for their time and efforts because it is hard work to precept. Guess what, we actually agree with this and that is one of the reasons why ANCS was founded. We believe in saying thank you for your hard work by rewarding you with an honorarium. You are passing the torch to the next generation of health care providers, so we thank you!
