Reviews from nurses who freelance as preceptors

Twelve reviews after a block closed, in the nurse's own words, with credential and state. Two are four stars and both say why. Filter by track or by mode.

★★★★★I wanted freelance work that did not mean another employer. Precepting one FNP student by video two half-days a week was exactly that. The block paid in two deposits and nobody asked me to chase paperwork.

★★★★★My telepsychiatry panel already ran from home. Adding a PMHNP student for her medication-management hours took one consent line per visit and a second call for her to present. The school allowed every hour by video.

★★★★☆The honest part: my first two weeks with a student were slower, about one patient an hour. The pay page had already said so. By week three she was taking histories and I was back to normal volume.

★★★★★I precept as a 1099 contractor alongside my clinic job. The affiliation agreement went to my practice manager in the school's own template and was signed in ten days. I set $18 and got a student in the spring term.

★★★★★I am not a nurse practitioner. I teach in a simulation lab and an MSN education student needed practicum hours in teaching. That counted. The log system was the one my university already used.

★★★★★Contraception counselling and prenatal visits are my whole week, and that is what the student's card asked for. I said yes in a day. The midpoint deposit arrived the morning after I signed the evaluation.

★★★★☆Pediatrics by video is hard because parents are on camera, and the orientation said so. My student did in-person well-child visits with me and follow-ups by video, exactly the split the program allowed.

★★★★★Semi-retired, two video clinics a week, and I wanted my hours to count for renewal. Precepting counts toward ANCC professional development and the coordinator asked the program for the letter at the end.

★★★★★One student was behind on hours at the midpoint. I said so on the form and the program added two weeks. I was paid for the hours she actually logged, which is how it should be.

★★★★★Leadership students need a director who lets them sit in on budget meetings. The card described the student's project before I accepted, so I knew my quarter would fit it.

★★★★☆Acute care almost never works by video and the site said so on the first page. My rotation was in the unit, five shifts a month, and the hours were logged against my schedule without argument.

★★★★★Rural clinic, one student a term. Colorado's rural preceptor credit might stack with a paid rotation or might not, and the pay page told me to ask my preparer instead of guessing. It does, for me.
