FNP preceptor support for Florida Atlantic University students

• Program: Family Nurse Practitioner
• School: Florida Atlantic University
• Directory location: Boca Raton, Florida
• Verified pathways: MSN
• Official evidence checked: July 22, 2026
• Clinical focus: family and individual primary care across the lifespan
• Potential setting landscape: family practice, community health, pediatric primary care, internal medicine, adult and older adult primary care, reproductive or women's health, school or student health, and other approved primary care settings
• Approval authority: the student's current program

Current official pages support the program and pathway labels below. They do not establish the student's curriculum, admissions status, tuition, modality, or clinical approval process, so those details must be confirmed directly with the program.

Official Florida Atlantic University sources checked July 22, 2026 support the MSN pathway record. Public program evidence answers whether the pathway is represented here, but the program must answer the separate questions about objectives, geography, hours, eligibility, placement ownership, and approval.

• Official FNP source 1, MSN: The current official institution or catalog source identifies the FNP MSN pathway evidence.

These citations are included for verification, not as an endorsement of our service. Read the current official page and ask the program to confirm any requirement that affects the proposed preceptor or site.

The proposed experience should reflect family and individual primary care from childhood through older adulthood. That does not mean every student needs the same population split or that every all-ages clinic fits. The patient mix and supervised activities must support the approved objectives.

The search can span family medicine, community clinics, pediatric offices, internal medicine, adult and geriatric primary care, reproductive health, and other settings that deliver genuine primary care. We screen what happens there, while Florida Atlantic University decides whether the actual preceptor and site satisfy the course.

The record identifies MSN. Those credential labels help route the inquiry, but they do not reveal the student's entry point, course sequence, remaining hours, clinical dates, or placement responsibility. Bring the exact course and current plan of study into the search.

Use a one-page clinical brief to explain the remaining need: course, dates, lifespan populations, setting, required experiences, hours, and credential criteria. A specific brief respects the preceptor's time and gives the program a clearer proposal to evaluate.

The hour plan must come from the student's program record. Nationally, NTF recommends a 750-hour direct patient care minimum for an NP population focus, and the FNP certification bodies publish a 500-hour faculty-supervised eligibility floor. Neither figure is presented here as Florida Atlantic University's rule.

Use the FNP clinical hours guide for national context and the preceptor requirements guide for screening questions. Neither guide replaces the program's current instructions.

Credentials start the review, but they do not finish it. We gather the prospective preceptor's license, certification, current primary care role, experience, patient population, site, and availability. The student's program applies its own criteria and makes the approval decision.

Begin with the geography the program approves, not an assumption based on the Boca Raton listing. Primary care capacity may be broader or narrower than the school location suggests. Every proposed clinician and site still needs program review.

Our FNP placement guide for Florida explains where primary care across different ages may be found across the state. It does not establish a clinical boundary or acceptance rule for this school.

• The exact course, clinical objectives, term dates, and remaining approved hours
• The approved geography, lifespan populations, primary care setting, and required experiences
• The proposed clinician's license, certification, specialty, primary care role, and availability
• The site's practice setting, patient mix, and opportunities tied to the objectives
• Every current preceptor, site, compliance, and submission form supplied by the program

An approval-ready proposal identifies the clinician's credentials, current primary care role, practice setting, patient populations, availability, and connection to the course objectives. It also includes the forms supplied by the student. This organization supports review but cannot replace any program step.

A search request works best when it includes the active course, dates, location limits, primary care setting, lifespan populations, competencies, hour need, preceptor rules, and approval documents. See how the process works, then bring the current program materials.

FNP Preceptor has no affiliation with Florida Atlantic University. We help students search for potential primary care preceptors and sites, subject to the program's current rules and final approval. No page, conversation, or submitted form creates a guarantee.
