FNP preceptor support for Nightingale College students

• Program: Family Nurse Practitioner
• School: Nightingale College
• Directory location: Salt Lake City, Utah
• 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

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 MSN 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, 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.

Keep lifespan primary care at the center of the FNP request. The student may need supervised care involving pediatric, adult, older adult, preventive, chronic, episodic, and reproductive health objectives. The program's current course materials determine the required mix and how it must be documented.

Potential settings include family practice, community health centers, 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 practices. A setting name alone proves nothing; patient mix, activities, supervision, and objectives must align.

A MSN 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.

Translate each objective into observable primary care work before outreach. One course may emphasize pediatric prevention, another adult chronic care, older adult assessment, reproductive health, or common episodic concerns. An objective map helps avoid a willing candidate whose daily role cannot support the required experience.

Two national standards are often confused: the NTF recommendation of at least 750 direct patient care hours per NP population focus and the 500 faculty-supervised clinical hour floor used in FNP certification eligibility. A program can require or distribute hours differently. Ask Nightingale College to confirm the student's actual total and balance.

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.

The clinician should actively provide primary care to the lifespan population the student needs. A title without matching practice is not enough. We document the candidate and setting for Nightingale College to consider rather than declaring either one approved.

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

For wider geographic context, read the FNP placement guide for Utah. It describes the state's primary care landscape without assigning a policy to Nightingale College 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

Document the match in the program's own terms. The file should show candidate qualifications, primary care role, population and site context, objective alignment, dates, and availability. The school can require additional review or documents that we cannot approve.

Do the confirmation work before outreach: course and dates, approved location, clinical objectives, patient populations, remaining hours, candidate credentials, and required forms. We use those facts to source carefully and submit a potential match for program review.

We do not represent Nightingale College 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.
