What this site is
An independent guide to becoming a clinical preceptor for nurse practitioner students, and the front door to paid precepting through the mentor network. Not a school and not a staffing agency; not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any university or certifying body.
Preceptors
You confirm that the license, certification and practice history you give are accurate and current, and that you will say within five business days if any of them changes. You work as an independent contractor. You will not let a student see patients without your supervision, and you will sign the midpoint and final evaluations honestly and on time.
Pay
Your rate is whichever figure sat on your preferences page when you accepted the card. A block pays that rate for every hour the program's log shows the student completed with you, in two deposits. A rotation that ends early pays for the hours logged. A 1099-NEC is issued each January where the year's total is $600 or more. Taxes and insurance are yours.
What we will not do
Place a student with a preceptor whose credential the program does not accept. Report hours that a log does not show. Promise you a student by a given date, or promise a program a preceptor we have not verified.
Leaving
Leave the roster at any time by telling your coordinator. Rotations already in progress should be completed, or handed over with the program's agreement, and every hour logged is paid.
Liability and law
We coordinate; we do not supervise clinical care and are not responsible for clinical decisions made by preceptors or students. Liability is limited to the fees paid or payable for the rotation in question, except where the law does not allow that limit. North Carolina law governs.
