FNP preceptor support for Georgia State University students

• Program: Family Nurse Practitioner
• School: Georgia State University
• Directory location: Atlanta, Georgia
• Verified pathways: DNP and post-graduate certificate
• 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

Treat the pathway list as an evidence boundary, not a summary of school policy. The official pages establish the FNP credential routes shown here, while the current handbook, syllabus, and program contact remain the authorities for hours, sites, preceptors, forms, and deadlines.

The directory uses the official FNP pages available on July 22, 2026. They support DNP and post-graduate certificate as the pathway set for this record. Any detail not explicit in those pages remains unclaimed and must be confirmed with the program.

• Official FNP source 1, DNP and post-graduate certificate: The current official institution or catalog source identifies the FNP DNP, post-graduate certificate 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 clinical spine is family primary care across the lifespan. A useful experience may involve prevention, assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, with reproductive or women's health included when the current course objectives require it.

No site category is automatically suitable. A community health center may offer broad age diversity, a pediatric practice may fill child health objectives, and an adult or reproductive health setting may address another need. The student's program must evaluate the complete proposal.

A DNP and post-graduate certificate listing tells us which FNP route appears in the official source set. It does not tell us where a student may complete clinical work, who arranges a placement, or what the program will approve. Those answers belong in current program guidance.

Course objectives are the bridge between a pathway label and a workable placement. Pair each objective with the population, setting, primary care activity, and supervision it requires, then ask the program whether the proposed combination is eligible before treating it as final.

Hour language needs careful attribution. NTF recommends at least 750 direct patient care hours for an NP population focus, while ANCC and AANPCB FNP eligibility sources set a minimum of 500 faculty-supervised clinical hours. Only the program can translate those standards into this student's current course need.

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.

Preceptor screening asks whether the clinician's credential and real work align with the approved FNP objectives. Primary care nurse practitioners and physicians may be search candidates, but the program controls the final eligibility rules and may define additional acceptable roles.

Atlanta, Georgia identifies the school record but does not define a clinical territory. A student may be able to consider nearby or distant practices only if the program permits it. We confirm those boundaries before screening candidates.

For wider geographic context, read the FNP placement guide for Georgia. It describes the state's primary care landscape without assigning a policy to Georgia State University or claiming that a named practice accepts students.

• 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

Before submission, assemble the candidate's license and certification details, role, site, population mix, clinical opportunities, schedule, and fit with each objective. The program may request more information or decline the proposal. A complete file is never presented as a guarantee.

Once the current checklist is clear, send the course, term dates, approved geography, required populations and setting, remaining hours, candidate criteria, and forms. Our placement process uses that brief to look for a possible match before the program evaluates it.

We do not represent Georgia State University and have no authority to approve a clinician, site, schedule, or clinical plan. Our independent role is limited to searching and documenting a possible match. Availability, review time, and the final program decision cannot be guaranteed.
