Senior Practicum Preceptorships

Senior practicum preceptorships are clinical experiences in which senior-level nursing students work one-on-one with a staff RN preceptor. These experiences typically require around 120 or more clinical hours to be completed just prior to graduation from the nursing program.

Preceptorship experiences are a collaborative effort between the Nurse Affiliate Office and the school’s clinical coordinator.

If you are a student interested in completing a senior practicum preceptorship at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, please connect with your program’s clinical coordinator. They can answer any questions you may have about the process.

Preceptorship Placement Process

1. School clinical coordinators send in initial preceptorship requests to NurseAffiliate@wakehealth.edu on the Preceptorship Request Form.

• School clinical coordinators must let the Nurse Affiliate Office know ASAP if they do not plan to use one or more of the offered placements.
3. School clinical coordinators enter requests for all placements they plan to use in mCE.
4. Nurse Affiliate Office approves requests.
