How to become a preceptor: what qualifies you, what the training is, what a block pays Live chat
By state

Becoming a preceptor by state

Your board of nursing, compact licensure, nurse practitioner practice authority, how many programs are placing students near you, and whether the state offers preceptors a tax credit all change at the state line. Pick your state for the page written about it.

The route to a first student

Become a preceptor for one NP student. Paid per block.

Meet three checks, sit a 90-minute orientation, accept one card. You set a rate between $12 and $20 per student hour, and a 120-hour block pays $1,440 to $2,400 in two deposits.

See what precepting would pay you

Your credential, your state, the hours you could give. A coordinator tells you what you qualify for within one business day. Free, no obligation.

Nothing reaches a program until you accept a student. No fee to the nurse at any point.
