The placement problem

Are you a nurse practitioner student looking for a preceptor?

You should be preparing for clinicals, not cold-calling clinics.

The problem

If you're an NP student struggling to find a clinical preceptor for your rotations, you're not alone. Searching for an NP preceptor near you can take weeks of cold-calling clinics, emailing providers, and getting turned down. Many nursing programs leave you to find your own preceptor placements, and the search is stressful, slow and a risk to your graduation timeline.

How Clinical Match Me fixes it

We built Clinical Match Me to solve this exact problem. Instead of chasing nurse practitioner preceptors, our NP preceptor matching platform sends qualified preceptors to you. Sign up for free, submit your placement requests and receive offers from preceptors who match your profile. Then compare offers, choose the best preceptor, and start your rotation.

The track record

We've helped over 10,000 NP students find preceptors since 2014. Our network offers NP clinical placement in every specialty: FNP, PMHNP, AGPCNP, AGACNP, WHNP, Pediatric NP, DNP, midwifery and APRN. We have nurse practitioner preceptors in all 50 states ready to work with you. If our network doesn't already have an NP preceptor near you, our AI-based outreach system contacts and recruits new preceptors for your rotation.

Nationwide network

Find nurse practitioner preceptors near you in all 50 states

If you're searching "NP preceptor near me" and feeling stuck, we get it. Many NP students start by Googling local clinics, calling provider offices, or asking professors for referrals. It sometimes works, but it's slow and unreliable. With our preceptor matching platform, you can skip that step.

Preceptors in every state

We have nurse practitioner preceptors in every state, matched to your specialty and rotation dates.

Qualified preceptors find you

Submit one placement request and qualified preceptors near you review your profile and send offers directly, with no cold calls or rejection emails.

We recruit near you

If no preceptor near you matches your specialty, our AI-based outreach recruits new providers in your area just for your rotation.

Our story

Founded by an NP student who couldn't find an NP preceptor

Since 2014

Clinical Match Me was founded in 2014 by a nurse practitioner student who almost didn't graduate on time because he couldn't find an NP preceptor near him. After experiencing the stress, uncertainty, and wasted time firsthand, he created the preceptor placement service he wished had existed.

With Clinical Match Me, nurse practitioner preceptors come to you, you pay nothing until you accept an offer, and your school approval is guaranteed. We cover all 50 states and every NP specialty, including the acute care and women's health tracks that are hardest to place.

Trusted since 2014

10,000+ students placed, and counting

Hundreds of 5-star reviews on Trustpilot and Google, and an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

Hours to your first offer

NP clinical placement deadlines don't wait

Every semester, NP students delay graduation because they can't find a preceptor in time. Spots fill up fast, and the longer you wait, the fewer preceptors will be available for your dates. Signing up is free and takes 2 minutes.

Common questions

Questions students ask before signing up

What makes Clinical Match Me different?+−

Preceptors compete for you. Post one placement request, receive offers from nurse practitioner preceptors who want to work with you, and choose the one that fits.

Our AI-based platform automates much of the NP preceptor matching process, but you can always reach a human and our support team is available 7 days a week.

How much does it cost?+−

Most of our preceptors charge a flat rate of $1,995 for rotations up to 250 hours. See our full NP preceptor cost breakdown for details.

Are there any hidden fees or separate preceptor payments?+−

No. The price on your offer is the total price. It includes our fee and the preceptor's honorarium, all in one payment to us.

What if my school rejects the preceptor?+−

Choose a full refund or a new preceptor. Our Money Back Guarantee covers two situations, at any point:

  1. Your school rejects the preceptor. Any reason counts. Send us the rejection letter.
  2. Your preceptor cancels the rotation.
Why should I trust Clinical Match Me?+−

We started the preceptor placement industry in 2014. Our founder is a nurse practitioner who experienced the same struggle you're facing.

Since then, we've helped more than 10,000 NP students find preceptors. We have thousands of nurse practitioner preceptors across all 50 states, plus AI-based outreach that finds preceptors outside our network. And we have hundreds of 5-star reviews on Google and Trustpilot from real students. Read our Clinical Match Me reviews.

Pay nothing until you accept an offer. If your school rejects the preceptor or your preceptor cancels, choose a full refund or a new preceptor.

How fast will I get matched?+−

You'll often receive your first offer within 24 hours of submitting a placement request. Most students are matched within a few days to a couple of weeks. Tougher placements (rare specialties, rural areas) can take longer, but our AI-based outreach system works around the clock to find NP preceptors near you.

The sooner you sign up, the more time we have to find you the right match.

What information do I need to sign up?+−

Your name, contact details, location, current degree and school. It takes about two minutes. After you register, fill in your placement request with your specialty, dates and location preferences.

How do I find a nurse practitioner preceptor?+−

Clinical Match Me connects nurse practitioner students with preceptors. Sign up free and submit a placement request with your specialty, dates, and location. Qualified nurse practitioner preceptors review your profile and send you offers. Then compare offers from multiple nurse practitioner preceptors and choose the best preceptor for your NP preceptorship. Most students are matched within a few days to a couple of weeks.
