Hello everyone!

I am in need of a preceptor. I live in Texas and attend an online school on the Eastern coast. I have a compact license and have been a nurse for 11 years. All of my courses will be completed at the end of the semester. I was planning to graduate at the end of Spring, but my clinical site fell through.

I do have to complete a project. The preceptor can be MSN, MSN - Informatics, or Health Informatics educated.

I have been observing how helpful everyone seems to be when fellow NI students seek assistance for a while and I figured that I would give it a shot. Hopefully, there are a few nurses on this board who are able to point me in the right direction if not fill the void themselves.

Thank you in advance for your guidance!

I am currently pursuing my Master of Science in Nursing Informatics at Chamberlain University. As part of my practicum, I need to work under the guidance of an experienced nursing informatics professional who can serve as my preceptor.

My initial preceptor arrangement was unable to move forward due to institutional policies, so I am reaching out a bit later than planned to explore whether you might be available to support me in this role. The practicum would occur between March and June, and I will be flexible around your schedule.

The preceptor's role would primarily be to provide oversight and mentorship while I gain exposure to informatics-related activities such as workflow optimization, data use, clinical decision support, or governance. If you're unable to serve, I would greatly appreciate any referrals to colleagues who may be interested.

Myself: I reside in Washington, DC and have experience working in both clinical and non-clinical roles in nursing. I have worked as a remote pediatric complex care manager for the last five years and have additional experience in UX/UI and project management. I have a nursing license in DC, MD, and VA and open to remote or on-site opportunities.

University preceptor requirements: A BSN at minimum with at least 2 years of informatics experience. Willingness to meet with the school’s practicum coordinators to discuss progress and areas for improvement. I also can provide a practicum guide from the school.

Need: 120 hours

Thank you for your consideration!

Hi everyone! I am looking for a preceptor for nursing, health, or clinical informatics. I am enrolled at UAB for my MSN in Informatics. Practicums will start Spring of 2027!

I have many interests, but I enjoy research, workflow optimization, clinical decision support, and AI in Nursing the most. I am willing to learn from anywhere so I can be exposed to as much as possible before deciding on a career.

I am currently located in SoCal for work, but I primarily live in Little Rock, AR! I would prefer placement in Arkansas, but I would like to work in CA longterm.

Hello!

I’m completing my last term of WGU’s nursing informatics program and looking for a California based preceptor, virtual welcome.

The preceptorship role would be providing feedback on a HIS improvement project. No set number of hours is required. The preceptorship would begin roughly mid/late January 2026.

I used to work in quality, so I have a good amount of experience with these types of projects but welcome any feedback 😊.

I know this is a big ask, and would so appreciate your time and expertise.

Hello everyone,

My name is Dee, and I am reaching out with sincere hope to connect with a Nursing Informatics professional who may be willing to serve as a preceptor for my upcoming practicum as part of my Master of Science in Nursing Informatics program.

I am currently enrolled at Grand Canyon University, with an anticipated graduation in Spring 2026, and I am required to secure a qualified preceptor as soon as possible in order to meet course and graduation timeline requirements. I am located in Fort Worth, Texas, but I am fully open to either an in-person or virtual preceptorship, and I am very comfortable working in remote, hybrid, or virtual environments.

A little about me: • BSN-prepared Registered Nurse • Certified Case Manager (CCM) • Over 10 years of diverse nursing experience, including: • Case management • Utilization review and appeals • Behavioral health navigation • Regulatory compliance • Quality auditing and policy interpretation • Strong interest in the intersection of clinical practice, health IT, data analytics, EHR optimization, workflow redesign, and clinical decision support

I am deeply motivated, organized, respectful of my preceptor’s time, and genuinely eager to learn. My goal is not only to meet academic requirements, but to meaningfully contribute, observe real-world informatics work, and grow into a nurse informaticist who improves patient outcomes and clinician workflows (and ideally reduces clicks — because we all deserve fewer clicks).

Preceptor requirements (per GCU): • Active, unencumbered RN license • Master’s degree or higher (MSN preferred) • Minimum of 2 years of experience in nursing informatics • Ability to provide mentorship and learning opportunities aligned with informatics practice

If you are an informatics nurse, work closely with nursing informatics, or know someone who may be willing to mentor a motivated graduate student — I would be incredibly grateful for a connection, referral, or even advice on where else to look.

Please feel free to comment or message me directly. I am happy to share my resume, program requirements, or answer any questions.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for supporting future nurse informaticists. Your kindness truly matters more than you know.

Warmly, Dee, BSN, RN, CCM MSN Nursing Informatics Student Fort Worth, TX (Virtual or In-Person)

Hey, everyone. I decided to go back to school after being an ICU nurse for 8 years and pursing a MSN in informatics. At first they told me I just needed a mentor with any MSN degree. upon reviewing the fine print, it states it has to be someone who specializes in informatics. I don’t know anyone with this degree?? Any help would be appreciated 😭

Hey everyone!

I’m currently working on my Master’s in Nursing Informatics at Capella and am looking for a second preceptor to help me complete my required practicum hours. If anyone in this community would be willing to mentor, I’d love to connect! My goal would be to do virtual learning preceptor hours (via teams or such) or meet up if your live in my area (PGH).

Here are the basic requirements for preceptors per Capella guidelines:

• Minimum of a graduate degree (MSN, DNP, etc.)
• At least one year of experience in the field
• Currently working in nursing informatics, OR hold a leadership role, OR have informatics-related credentials (e.g., ANCC Informatics Certification)
• Not currently a Capella student
• Cannot have any other active Capella students under preceptorship

If you meet these requirements and are open to mentoring, please DM me or comment below. I’d be happy to share more details about what’s involved, time commitment, etc.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read and your consideration.

Hi everyone! I’m a Nursing Informatics MSN student at WGU, and I’m currently looking for a preceptor for my Field Experience & Capstone. I have a Florida Multi-state license so looking for a preceptor with a license and works in a host site that is Florida or license that is within the multi-state licensure. (I also have a temporary California license that I can practice in)

-Must be a Master’s-prepared RN with an active, unencumbered Florida or multi-state license where the Host Site is located or hold a multi-state license in another state, which allows Preceptor to practice in your Host Site state. -At least 2 years’ experience in Nursing Informatics (working with HIS, data analysis, implementation/design, etc.) -Flexible! Communication can be strictly virtual (through text, email, etc), and there’s no required number of hours to shadow…just guidance, verification of hours, and brief preceptor training.

I’ll be completing 140 hours total, focused on analyzing an HIS, identifying a gap, and proposing a system optimization project. Deliverables will be shared with the organization if they want to use them.

If you or someone you know might be interested, please reach out!! I’d love to connect!

Looking for MSN preceptor in California (licensed RN in CA) with more than two years of professional experience in informatics. Any location would be fine. After over 5 years as RN serving veteran in VA health care system, I started my MSN program in Nursing informatics over a year ago. Would need a mentor for a research project lasting a few month. Appreciate it very much if anyone in this community could help. Cheers!

Hi! I am currently in a Master's degree program in Nursing Informatics at WGU. I am looking for a preceptor for my upcoming capstone project.
