• Program: Family Nurse Practitioner
• School: Russell Sage College

• Approval authority: the student's current program

This snapshot reports only what the linked official program evidence supports. It does not assign a delivery format, clinical sequence, hour total, placement responsibility, preceptor rule, or approval timeline to Russell Sage College. Confirm each of those details with the current program.

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.

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.

A practical search may consider several parts of the primary care landscape: family practice, community health, pediatrics, internal medicine, older adult care, reproductive or women's health, school health, and approved focused practices. We do not promise that a named site will be accepted before review.

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.

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.

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 Russell Sage 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.

A currently licensed and appropriately certified primary care NP is a direct search target. An appropriately licensed physician may also fit when the role, population, setting, and supervision align with the course. Other clinician types belong in the search only when Russell Sage College explicitly permits them.

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

Use the FNP placement guide for New York for broader family practice, community health, pediatric, adult, older adult, and reproductive health context. Any actual candidate and site must still pass the student's current program review.

• 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.

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.

FNP Preceptor is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Russell Sage College. We cannot guarantee that a preceptor or site will be available, that paperwork will finish by a particular date, or that the program will approve a proposal. A request starts a search only.
