For Family Nurse Practitioner Students

Find an FNP Preceptor
for Your Next Rotation.

FNP students need preceptors across primary care, pediatrics, women's health, and adult-gerontology. Preceptor.Network matches you with providers whose credential and specialty your school actually accepts — not random emails into the void.

"I needed an FNP preceptor for 180 hours of primary care, an additional 120 for women's health, and 90 for peds — three separate rotations, three separate searches. There has to be a better way."

FNP rotations have a specificity problem.

Family Nurse Practitioner programs require hours across the lifespan — primary care, peds, women's health, adult-gerontology. Every rotation comes with its own credential and population-focus rules. Cold-emailing a clinic that says "FNP welcome" usually doesn't tell you whether the preceptor counts toward that rotation under your school's rules. The result is wasted weeks chasing leads that won't be accepted anyway.

FNP preceptor FAQ

Who can precept an FNP student?
A licensed provider whose scope and credential satisfy your program — typically an FNP, family-medicine physician (MD or DO), or another APRN role accepted by your school for the rotation in question. The matcher filters by exactly what your program will count.
Can a physician precept me, or does it have to be an NP?
Many FNP programs accept MD or DO family-medicine preceptors for some or all hours. Some require a portion of hours under an NP. The matcher uses your school's rules as the filter, so you only see preceptors whose credential your program accepts for that rotation.
How many hours do FNP students typically need?
Most FNP programs require somewhere between 600 and 800 supervised clinical hours, split across primary care, women's health, pediatrics, and adult-gerontology. Exact distribution varies by school — and your program's exact requirements are what we match against.
I need a peds rotation. Do those count toward FNP hours?
Yes. Pediatrics hours count toward FNP requirements when supervised by a credential your program accepts (commonly an FNP, peds NP, or family physician). Filter the matcher by population focus "Pediatrics" to see only the relevant preceptors.
What does it cost?
Browsing and searching are free. A $10 flat fee applies when you send a match request the preceptor confirms. Preceptors never pay. No subscription, no five-figure placement fee.
