Precepting Graduate Students
At Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU) School of Nursing (SON), our preceptors play a vital role in training and shaping the advanced practice nurses of tomorrow. Preceptors provide fundamental hands-on experience and help nurture the connection between classroom learning and real-world clinical application. Preceptorship is essential for the development of advanced practice clinical skills and the professional maturation of our graduate students. As the complexity of healthcare grows, so does the demand for skilled advanced practice nurses, making the guidance and support of preceptors essential in ensuring our graduates are well-prepared to meet these challenges.
There are opportunities to provide clinical preceptorships in the following robust PLNU SON graduate programs:
- Family Nurse Practitioner
