"Faculty at the College of Nursing identify the preceptor role as providing professional growth, development and achievement for our future nurse practitioners. Preceptors contribute to our students' clinical learning and are an essential part of their education. The faculty appreciates the dedicated nurse practitioners willing to share their knowledge and expertise. We continue to seek community and regional nurse practitioners who will enhance and build upon our students' educational experiences."
