NPHub Preceptors: Empowering NP Students and Transforming Clinical Education

Clinical rotations are the backbone of nurse practitioner (NP) education, bridging theory and practice. However, finding quality clinical sites and experienced preceptors has become a significant challenge for NP students nationwide, adding to all the struggle they face in their educational journey.

As a nurse practitioner, you understand this problem all too well, as you had to overcome it, maybe on your own or using a preceptor matching service. You know the importance of having a quality experience and preceptor and how it can impact your confidence, skills, and the kind of practitioner you end up becoming.

Many NP students face significant challenges in securing clinical preceptors and dealing with high costs and stress in finding suitable placements. At NPHub, we connect aspiring NPs with exceptional preceptors like you. Our mission is to ensure the next generation of NPs receives top-notch clinical experiences while supporting preceptors in this rewarding but challenging task. Here’s how we support students and preceptors:

• Streamlining the placement process by handling all the paperwork and logistics so students can have their paperwork ready and preceptors don’t have to go out of their way to gather credentials.
• Providing comprehensive support for both preceptors and students, allowing students to focus on their coursework and preceptors to concentrate on patient care.
• Offering fair preceptor pay and recognition for their valuable contributions

We understand that many nurse practitioners hesitate to precept due to:

• Concerns about the impact on patient care and productivity
• Previous challenging experiences with students
• Lack of incentives or compensation
• Dread of paperwork and logistical hurdles

NPHub tackles these issues head-on, creating a user-friendly platform where experienced NPs can easily connect with motivated students. Our approach not only benefits students but also provides valuable opportunities for practicing nurse practitioners to shape the future of their profession. The NP community plays a crucial role in supporting each other and advocating for the profession, ensuring collective growth and advancement.

As we explore the world of NPHub and precepting, you’ll discover how our innovative system is transforming NP clinical education while supporting the growth and development of both students and preceptors.
