WHO WE HELP

Sebrina’s Story

Who Is This For?
You're an FNP, PNP-PC, or PNP-AC student who needs a pediatric preceptor, and every door has closed or led nowhere. You've been looking for weeks. Maybe months. And you still don't have a placement.
WHO WE HELP
You're working as an RN, finishing coursework between shifts, and somehow expected to chase down providers in whatever hours are left. You've emailed every pediatric practice you could find, worked through your NP school's directory, asked coworkers, posted in Facebook groups — and the answers keep coming back the same: "We're not taking students." "The children's hospital has an exclusive agreement with another program." "Try back next year."
That's the situation Sebrina was in. An FNP student in Georgia, working full-time, she'd already secured her adult health and women's health rotations, but pediatrics was a different story. Augusta University had the local pediatric preceptor pool on lockdown, and every practice close to home was tied up. She spent six months searching on her own. Six months of emails, calls, and dead ends. And even when a pediatric provider says yes, there's another layer most students don't see coming.

Pediatric preceptors must typically hold FNP, PNP-PC, or PNP-AC certification, the site must serve a predominantly pediatric patient population (0–18), and many programs require at least 1 year of clinical experience or a DNP. A family practice that sees a mix of adults and children often won't qualify for pediatric-only hours, so even a willing preceptor can be disqualified before paperwork starts.
You shouldn't have to find a pediatric preceptor alone. With NPHub, you won't have to

THE CHALLENGE
Why Is It So Hard to Find a Pediatric Preceptor?
Pediatrics can be one of the hardest NP rotations to secure because the structural shortage that affects every specialty is amplified by constraints specific to pediatric clinical training. Here's why:
Pediatric NPs are a smaller specialty to begin with:
The national pool of pediatric nurse practitioners is a fraction of the primary care or family practice pool.
Site qualification is strict:
To count toward pediatric hours, a clinical site must serve a predominantly pediatric patient population — typically 0 to 18.
Children's hospitals and academic medical centers lock up the regional pool:
Large pediatric institutions typically hold exclusive affiliation agreements with specific universities.
Private practices are more conservative with student placements:
Liability is higher when patients are minors, and private pediatric groups are often more protective of their clinical environment than adult-focused practices.
Employer restrictions block willing preceptors:
Corporate pediatric groups and hospital systems often block precepting through productivity rules, compliance policies, or liability constraints. The willingness is there; the permission isn't.
Enrollment is surging, but pediatric preceptors are not:
Online NP programs recruit nationally, flooding local markets with students looking for pediatric rotations. A single city might have dozens of requests hitting the same small pool of pediatric practices every week.

That's why Sebrina spent six months on her own and got nowhere.
She was in the right specialty program, working in the right clinical environment, doing everything the "right" way, emails, cold calls, coworker referrals, Facebook groups, while working full-time and watching her deadline close in. A break could easily have turned into a year. The problem wasn't effort.

CASE STUDY
What Did NPHub Do for Sebrina?
After six months of dead ends, Sebrina came across NPHub the way a lot of students do, through a recommendation in an NP student Facebook group. She took the leap of faith and signed up.
What she noticed first wasn't the placement. It was the responsiveness. Questions she felt were "silly" got real answers. Concerns she thought were minor were treated as valid. Her coordinator was attentive, thorough, and moved fast.
How NPHub handles what your NP school won't:
01
A dedicated student coordinator from day one
02
Matching built specifically for pediatric rotations, not a generic database.
03
All paperwork handled end-to-end
04
Ongoing check-ins throughout the rotation, not just at placement.
05
Payment plans available
01
A dedicated student coordinator from day one — one point of contact who stays with you across rotations, follows up, and knows your program's requirements.
02
Matching built specifically for pediatric rotations, not a generic database. Every match is vetted for pediatric patient population, credentials, and clinical experience.
03
All paperwork handled end-to-end — preceptor documentation, credentialing, and affiliation agreements. No placements collapsing at the finish line because a legal agreement wasn't in place.
04
Ongoing check-ins throughout the rotation, not just at placement. NPHub stays with you from match day through your final hours.
05
Payment plans available, unlike private preceptor arrangements where honorariums are charged upfront with no flexibility. The financial side is built to fit a working student's reality.
Sebrina isn't the only one.
Jaclyn had two weeks to find a pediatric preceptor after her previous placement fell through with another company. Her coordinators, Alejandra and Fernando, came through, and instead of the four-hour drive she was bracing for, NPHub placed her in her hometown.
Azar had already missed one rotation session because she didn't have a preceptor ready. She was about to miss another when the clinic she'd lined up backed out at the last minute. She signed up with NPHub, and within a couple of days, she had a pediatric preceptor ready to go.
Three students. Three different versions of the same pediatric placement crisis. One outcome — placed, paperwork handled, rotation underway.

For all of them, that meant:
For Sebrina, that meant going from six months of unanswered emails and calls to a matched pediatric preceptor, paperwork handled, and a rotation she felt confident walking into.
For Jaclyn, that meant a vetted pediatric preceptor in her hometown within two weeks instead of the four-hour drive she was about to commit to.
For Azar, that meant a pediatric preceptor ready within days, instead of missing a second rotation session and falling further behind.

“Alejandra and Fernando were amazing and came through. I had two weeks to find a pediatric preceptor due to my other one falling through with another company, and they provided! The best part is I went from driving 4 hours, to being able to do it in my hometown! Best company to go through!”

“I had already missed a session due to not having a preceptor ready, and I was about to miss another session because the doctor office I thought is going to take me bailed out last minute and said no, I was desperate to find a pediatric clinic rotation, as soon as my friend told me about NPHUB I signed up and within couple of days I had a preceptor ready to go, process was easy and fast. I would recommend to use them as it’s very convenient.”

“NP Hub made my search for a pediatric preceptor stress-free and efficient. Their team was incredibly supportive, responsive, and dedicated to helping me find the right match. Thanks to their assistance, I secured a great preceptor and had a valuable clinical experience. Highly recommend NP Hub for any NP student needing preceptor support!”

IS THIS FOR YOU?
Does This Apply to You?
If you're an FNP, PNP-PC, or PNP-AC student, NPHub is built for your situation if any of the following sounds familiar:
SEARCH
You can't find a pediatric preceptor on your own:
Weeks or months in, and every potential provider has gone cold.
SCHEDULE
Your previous placement fell through, and your timeline just collapsed:
Like Jaclyn, you have days or a couple of weeks to lock something in before it affects your semester.
MISSED ROTATION
You've already missed a rotation session, or you're about to:
Like Azar, you can't afford another clinic backing out at the last minute.
NO PRECEPTORS
You're in a market where children's hospitals or academic medical centers lock up the local preceptor pool:
Like Sebrina in Augusta, every nearby practice is tied to another program and out of reach.
NO SITE
You need a site that actually qualifies for pediatric hours:
A predominantly 0–18 patient population, credentialed preceptor, and a clinical environment your NP school will approve.
TIME
You're working full-time as an RN and have no hours left to chase clinics.
Between shifts, coursework, and everything else, the search itself has become the obstacle.
