Find an APRN Preceptor for Your Clinical Rotation
The APRN preceptor shortage is real. Programs expect you to find your own clinical preceptor, but qualified providers are overbooked and hard to reach. Clinical Match Me flips the process: preceptors come to you.
No credit card required. $0 until you’re matched with a preceptor.

The APRN Preceptor Shortage Isn’t Your Fault. But It Is Your Problem.
Whether you’re pursuing your FNP, PMHNP, AGNP, or any other advanced practice role, the story is the same. Your program requires hundreds of supervised clinical hours, but finding a willing preceptor falls entirely on you.
The APRN Consensus Model standardized education requirements across all four advanced practice roles (NPs, CNMs, CRNAs, and CNSs), but it didn’t fix the preceptor supply problem. Clinics are overwhelmed. Providers who used to precept are maxed out. And if you’re in an online or hybrid program, you’re competing for local preceptors with students from dozens of other schools.
Cold-calling offices, sending emails that never get answered, asking friends of friends for contacts. It’s exhausting. And every week without a preceptor is another week your graduation could be delayed.
You shouldn’t have to do this alone.

FNP, PMHNP, AGNP, AGACNP, PNP, WHNP, ENP, and more. No matter which advanced practice track you’re on, we match you with preceptors in your exact specialty. Our network covers all 50 states, so even if you’re in an online program and need a local preceptor, we’ve got you covered.
Preceptors Come to You
Stop cold-calling clinics. With Clinical Match Me, preceptors review your profile and send you offers when they’re interested. Many students receive multiple offers, so you can compare and choose the best fit. You’re not assigned to someone random.
Smart Outreach Finds Preceptors Beyond Our Network
Our AI-powered outreach system doesn’t just search our existing database. It automatically identifies and contacts qualified APRN providers outside our network, recruiting them specifically for your rotation. This is especially helpful for hard-to-fill specialties or rural locations.
Zero Upfront Cost, Flat-Rate Pricing
You don’t pay anything until a preceptor sends you an offer and you decide to accept. The flat rate of $1,995 covers everything, including the preceptor’s honorarium. No hidden fees, no hourly surprises. Payment plans available up to 24 months.
Money-Back Guarantee Protects You
If your school rejects the preceptor for any reason, you get a full refund. If your preceptor cancels before the rotation starts, full refund. You’re never stuck paying for a placement that doesn’t work out.

APRN Preceptor FAQs
Common questions from advanced practice nursing students
We specialize in placing Nurse Practitioner students across every NP specialty: FNP, PMHNP, AGNP, AGACNP, PNP, WHNP, ENP, NNP, and more. If your APRN program requires clinical rotations with a preceptor, we can help. Our network includes thousands of providers across all 50 states, and our outreach system actively recruits new preceptors in areas where demand is high.
Absolutely. A large portion of our students are in online or hybrid programs and need preceptors near their home. When you submit a Placement Request, you tell us the states or zip codes where you can do your rotation. We match you with preceptors in those areas. If we don’t already have someone in your location, our smart outreach system starts contacting qualified providers nearby to recruit them for your rotation.
Registration is completely free. You don’t pay anything until a preceptor sends you an offer and you decide to accept it. The standard rate is $1,995 for rotations up to 250 clinical hours. That price is all-inclusive and covers our fee plus the preceptor’s honorarium. No service fees, no rush fees, no separate preceptor payments. Payment plans are available from 2 to 24 months. Visit our Pricing page for full details.
Include those requirements in your Placement Request. If your school needs a board-certified NP, a physician in a specific setting, or a preceptor with particular credentials, we factor that into the matching process. And if your school ultimately rejects the preceptor for any reason, our Money-Back Guarantee gives you a full refund. You’re never stuck with a placement your program won’t accept.
Many students get their first offer within 24 hours. Most are matched within a few days to a couple of weeks. Harder-to-fill requests (rare subspecialties, very rural areas) can take longer, but our outreach system works around the clock to recruit preceptors for your specific rotation. The sooner you sign up and submit your request, the more time we have to find you the right match.
