Find an NP Preceptor in Texas

 Texas is home to programs at UT Austin, Baylor, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, UT Arlington, Texas Woman's University, Houston Baptist, and dozens more. The volume of students searching for preceptors, especially in Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, and San Antonio, is enormous. 

 Unlike states with full practice authority, Texas requires nurse practitioners to work under a collaborative agreement with a physician. This adds an additional layer of complexity to clinical placements — your preceptor's practice setting needs to align with how NPs practice in Texas, and some preceptors may be less willing to take students when they're navigating collaborative requirements themselves. 

 Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Austin are where the majority of NP students are located. The competition for preceptors in these cities is intense, and many providers have stopped accepting new students or have waitlists that stretch across multiple semesters. 

 Texas covers nearly 269,000 square miles. Students in West Texas, the Rio Grande Valley, the Panhandle, or East Texas face a much thinner provider pool — and may need to travel significant distances for certain specialty rotations. 

 Large Texas health systems (HCA, Baylor Scott & White, Memorial Hermann, etc.) often have their own student placement processes and affiliation agreements that can take months to navigate. Getting approved at a hospital-based site in Texas is often a bureaucratic process on top of finding a willing preceptor. 

 Our network includes preceptors in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin, but also in mid-size and smaller markets where preceptor availability is higher and competition is lower. 

 Texas's reduced practice authority model means clinical placements have nuances that services based in full-practice-authority states may not fully understand. Our team accounts for these factors when matching you. 

 We talk to you by phone, understand your program requirements and your situation in the Texas market, and match you accordingly. No browsing, no waiting for offers, no managing it yourself. 

 Technology scans our Texas network for best-fit preceptors; our team makes sure the placement actually works. 

 Your placement team is accessible throughout the process. 

   No per-hour math, no metro-area premiums, no surge pricing for popular Texas markets. Discussed during your consultation. 

  If we can't match you with a qualified preceptor in Florida, you get your money back.
