For Nursing Schools & APRN Programs

Clinical Placement,
Structured for Your Program.

Your students still own their placement search. Your clinical coordinator still approves. What changes: students search inside a matcher built from your program rules, so the noise drops and the matches that reach your desk are actually qualified.

"Half my email is forwarded student-preceptor requests where the preceptor's credential doesn't even meet our acceptance rules. We need a filter at the start of the funnel, not the end."

— Clinical coordinator, MSN-FNP program

Your students are doing it anyway. Help them.

APRN students at most programs are already on their own to find a preceptor. They're already using Facebook groups, paid placement services, and cold outreach to credentialed providers — some of which fits your program's rules, most of which doesn't. Preceptor.Network gives those students a structured matcher built from your actual program requirements, which means the placements they bring to you are pre-filtered by your own rules.

How school setup works

01

Claim your school

A program administrator verifies the school's .edu domain and is elevated to the School Admin role. No contract, no integration.

02

Upload program rules

For each APRN track you offer, define credential acceptance, role, population focus, care model, hour minimums, setting rules, and supervisor requirements. Edit anytime.

03

Students inherit the rules

Enrolled students who sign up with their school email are auto-assigned the program's rule set. Their preceptor matcher only surfaces providers whose credential and setting your program accepts.

What your program gets

Fewer mismatched requests

Students who use the matcher only see preceptors your program already accepts, so the requests that reach your clinical coordinator are pre-filtered.

Aggregate visibility

See match volume, gap rotations (where students are struggling), and the preceptor pool that's responding. Useful data for program review and accreditation.

No placement-service fees for your students

Students pay $10 per confirmed match instead of $2,000+ to a placement company. The reduction-in-student-cost story is real and quotable.

Zero cost, zero integration

No invoice, no IT lift, no FERPA data exchange required. The school's role is to publish program rules; the rest happens at the student/preceptor layer.

School admin FAQ

What does it cost the school?
Nothing. Schools never pay. Program administrators can claim their school, upload program requirements, and verify .edu domains at no cost. The platform is funded by the $10 flat match fee paid by students at the time of a confirmed match.
Do students still own their own placement search?
Yes. Preceptor.Network does not replace your clinical coordinator — it gives the student a structured matcher whose filter is built from your program rules. Your team still approves and signs off on placements per your own policies.
How do program requirements get loaded?
A school administrator claims the school by verifying a .edu email, then uploads or builds out the program structure: credential acceptance, APRN role, population focus, care model, hour minimums, setting rules, and supervisor requirements. Students enrolled in that program inherit the rules automatically.
Can the school see which preceptors students are matching with?
Schools can see aggregate placement activity for their own students. Individual student-preceptor messaging remains private to the parties — schools see that a match was made and the preceptor profile, not the conversation.
What if our program is small or new?
Smaller and newer programs benefit the most. The matcher reduces the volume of low-quality preceptor outreach, which means your clinical coordinator spends less time chasing dead leads and more time on the placements that actually need attention.
