FNP preceptor support for University of Southern Indiana students

• Program: Family Nurse Practitioner
• School: University of Southern Indiana
• Directory location: Evansville, Indiana
• Verified pathways: DNP
• 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 University of Southern Indiana sources checked July 22, 2026 support the DNP 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, DNP: The current official institution or catalog source identifies the FNP DNP 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.

Across-the-lifespan reasoning connects pediatric, adult, older adult, preventive, chronic, and reproductive care. The student should plan from the objectives rather than assume a fixed national rotation pattern. The current program retains the final decision on the required populations and setting fit.

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 University of Southern Indiana decides whether the actual preceptor and site satisfy the course.

The record identifies DNP. 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.

A useful clinical request names what the student must actually do under supervision. Define the target ages, patient mix, primary care setting, skills, continuity needs, and expected participation. That detail lets a prospective preceptor assess fit without making promises on the program's behalf.

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 University of Southern Indiana'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.

A useful candidate combines a relevant license or certification with day-to-day work in family practice, pediatrics, internal medicine, adult or older adult care, community health, reproductive health, or another approved primary care setting. Only University of Southern Indiana can accept the proposed match.

The directory lists University of Southern Indiana in Evansville, Indiana. That is a planning anchor, not a statement about where students may complete clinical work. Confirm the student's authorized geography before outreach, since licensure, travel, site access, and program rules can change the practical search area.

For wider geographic context, read the FNP placement guide for Indiana. It describes the state's primary care landscape without assigning a policy to University of Southern Indiana 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

Give the program a proposal it can evaluate without guessing: who the clinician is, where that person practices, which ages and needs are served, what the student could do, when supervision is available, and which current forms apply.

The first useful step is a complete clinical brief rather than a broad request for any preceptor. Share the student's approved requirements through the matching form. We can then search for primary care fit without claiming authority we do not have.

FNP Preceptor has no affiliation with University of Southern Indiana. 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.
