Find Adult-Gerontology Acute Care NP Preceptors
Hospital-based AGACNP rotations are some of the hardest to secure. Between strict credentialing, limited student slots, and programs that lock out non-affiliated students, finding an acute care preceptor on your own can feel impossible. Clinical Match Me connects you with AGACNP preceptors across all 50 states, and you don’t pay a dime until you’re matched.

Why AGACNP Preceptors Are So Hard to Find
Hospital Credentialing Barriers
Hospitals require background checks, immunization records, drug screens, and facility-specific orientations before you can step on the floor. Many hospitals cap the number of students allowed at any time, creating a bottleneck that leaves AGACNP students waiting months.
Exclusive Program Agreements
Many hospital systems have exclusive contracts with local NP programs. If you’re enrolled in an online or distance AGACNP program, your local hospitals may not accept you at all. You’re competing for a small number of open spots against students from affiliated schools.
ICU and ED Slots Are Scarce
Critical care and emergency department rotations are the most competitive placements in any AGACNP program. These high-acuity units have the tightest student limits, and available preceptors fill up fast. Subspecialty rotations in cardiology, pulmonology, or neurology can be even harder to find.

AI Preceptor Outreach for Hard-to-Fill Rotations

If your school rejects the preceptor for any reason, you get a full refund. If the preceptor cancels or disappears, you get a full refund. You’re protected from the credentialing surprises that are common with hospital-based rotations.

Clinical Match Me was founded by a nurse practitioner who experienced the preceptor shortage firsthand. We’ve been matching NP students with preceptors for over a decade, and we’re the largest preceptor matching service in the country.
What Our Students Say
AGACNP Preceptor FAQs
Yes. Our network includes preceptors working in medical and surgical ICUs, cardiac ICUs, emergency departments, step-down units, and acute care subspecialties like cardiology, pulmonology, nephrology, and neurology. For hard-to-fill subspecialty rotations, our AI Preceptor Outreach system actively recruits providers outside our existing network to find the right match for you.
Absolutely. A large portion of our students are enrolled in online or distance AGACNP programs and need hospital preceptors near their home. We work with preceptors who are willing and able to take students from any accredited program, not just locally affiliated ones. Just tell us your location and we’ll match you with available acute care preceptors in your area.
AGACNP preceptors are typically Adult-Gerontology Acute Care NPs (AGACNPs), Acute Care Certified Nurse Practitioners (ACNPs), physicians (MDs or DOs), or physician assistants working in acute care settings. Your school may have specific requirements about which provider types qualify. When you submit a placement request, we’ll match you with preceptors who meet both our standards and your program’s criteria.
Hospital credentialing is between you, your school, and the facility. What we do is match you with a preceptor who’s willing to take you on and help coordinate the paperwork. If the hospital ultimately rejects you during credentialing, our money-back guarantee has you covered. You’ll get a full refund and can try again with a different preceptor at no additional cost.
Signing up is free. You don’t pay anything until you accept an offer from a preceptor. The flat rate is $1,995 for rotations up to 250 hours, and that’s all-inclusive. There’s never a separate payment to the preceptor. We also offer payment plans from 2 to 24 months if you’d rather spread out the cost.
