Each site has a specific clinical placement policy that needs to be followed or the site will not allow placement.  Typically, the clinical site wants only to work with a single designated person from the academic site.

It is not likely that a student will hear any report of progress until the majority of sites are confirmed.  Students should not intervene in this process, as this will delay its completion.

Students should use the Student Introductory Email to Preceptor template to introduce themselves to their preceptors and to work toward establishing a schedule.

DNP Student Suggestions for Placement

Students can assist in securing clinical placements in collaboration with faculty but faculty retain the final decision in their placement.  To be involved, students are to follow these steps:

  1. An initial conversation may be initiated by the student with a potential preceptor or clinical site. This conversation is informational, brief in nature, and elicits availability from the preceptor.  This is only used when you already know of a preceptor you want to work with or someone has referred you to a preceptor.
  2. Collect all contact information for the preceptor and site, a record of contact made, and hopes for placement.
  3. Suggestions are forwarded by the student to the designated faculty or the Associate Dean for Graduate Nursing by email.

Your suggestions will be taken into consideration, but placement with a preceptor you suggest is not guaranteed.
