Nurse Practitioner Preceptor

Preceptor Logo

Welcome!

The Partners in Education Nurse Practitioner Preceptor website creates a close working relationship between community nurse practitioner preceptors and SUNY Upstate Medical University College of Nursing.

The purpose of our integrative preceptor website is to:

  1. Improve and foster a positive relationship with community preceptors;
  2. Make available preceptor educational programs and resources, and;
  3. Provide ‘rewards’ as a thank you for a valued service to our College and the community at large.

Being a Preceptor means sharing your nurse practitioner knowledge and expertise.Margie Wade, FNP preceptor, with her daughter Shannon

The Partners in Education program makes available a mechanism to cooperatively prepare our students to succeed in a challenging and ever-changing health care environment.

Preceptors contribute to our students' clinical learning and are an essential part of their education.
