Preceptors
Nursing preceptors provide real-world experiences.
The WVU School of Nursing is proud of its robust nurse preceptor program which provides Advanced Practice Nursing students the experience in health clinics throughout the state and country.
Our preceptors use their nursing experience and knowledge to provide mentorship and guidance as new nurses learn their responsibilities and transition into the health care field.
The School of Nursing matches students with preceptors who practice in a location that is ideal for the student.
