Hello (preceptor’s name),  

Thank you so much for the opportunity to work with you during (Summer / Autumn / Winter) quarter.  I appreciate your time and investment in my learning.  This will be my (first / second / third) clinical rotation.  I plan to complete 180 hours with you between (June 14 - August 27, 2021 / September 14– December 17, 2021 / January 3 - March 25, 2022) 

(Write a short paragraph about your DNP track, nursing background/experience, any special clinical interests, and how you learn best – auditory, visual, kinesthetic, reading/writing.)  (Example:  I am a family nurse practitioner student in my final year of the doctor of nursing practice program.  I have five years of nursing experience working in a variety of settings including neurology and pediatrics.  I am interested in women’s health and working with underserved populations.  I am a reading/writing and kinesthetic learner.  I learn best by reading new information and hands-on practice performing new skills.)  I am attaching my professional profile to give you a more complete picture of my experience.  (Attach a copy of your professional profile as a PDF document) 

I would like to set up a start date with you. This quarter, I will have class on Thursdays but am otherwise available to work around your schedule. What is your current schedule?  Which days of the week work best for you to have me in clinic? 

In preparation for my clinical rotation with you, is there anything specific I need to know?  How should I prepare for our time together?  What are the most common cases and diagnoses seen in your practice?  Are there specific topics, conditions, or meds that would be helpful for me to brush up on?  

If there is anything else I should know or if you would like any additional information from me, please let me know.  

Thank you.  I look forward to working with you.
