For California preceptors, NPHub removes the administrative burden of teaching by handling 100% of university affiliation agreements, school portals, and documentation.

Who this is for
You have the expertise to teach NP students. What you don't have is time to chase paperwork — or any interest in doing it as unpaid labor.
Maybe you're a seasoned FNP running a full primary care panel, where every student used to mean slower visits and charting that follows you home. Maybe you spent a semester in Facebook groups and preceptor directories, watching good matches collapse over mismatched program requirements. Maybe you precepted for years, then stopped, worn down by paperwork. Or maybe you work in telehealth and could teach far more students than you do now, held back only by coordination no one else will handle.
Different starting points, same conclusion: you want to give back to the next generation of California nurse practitioners, your time is already accounted for — but you won't manage bureaucracy for free.

CASE STUDY
Why California's Best Clinicians Quietly Step Away from Teaching
California enrollment keeps climbing, and every semester, thousands of students call local practices, work down school preceptor directories, and flood social media just to find someone who will sign off on their hours.
For busy California clinicians, this broken system turns a rewarding mentorship opportunity into a frustrating, thankless burden:
Teaching with NPHub
The work is unpaid, and it costs you:
Physicians are routinely paid to teach. Advanced practice clinicians are expected to do the same work for free, while a student in the room slows your panel, stretches your charting, and quietly raises the RVU pressure you carry alone.
The paperwork never really ends:
Affiliation agreements, liability documentation, university portals that each behave differently. It's hours of unpaid administrative work, and it multiplies fast when your students come from several schools at once, each with its own forms, deadlines, and login.
The fit is rarely right, and no one has your back:
Random student inquiries rarely match your exact clinical specialty, schedule, or location, and the mismatch is worse in specialties like PMHNP and child and adolescent psychiatry, where qualified preceptors are genuinely hard to find. Then, if a rotation goes sideways mid-semester, the school tends to vanish and leave the cleanup to you.
The work is unpaid, and it costs you:
The paperwork never really ends:
The fit is rarely right, and no one has your back:
So California loses capable preceptors one at a time. Not because they stopped caring about mentoring, but because the system treats hard-earned clinical expertise as an administrative chore instead of a paid, fully supported extension of practice.

Rosa A.
PMHNP · Telehealth, California
CASE STUDY
A PMHNP with a rare child & adolescent subspecialty, Rosa precepted on her own for years — until the paperwork piled up faster than she could manage across schools. After partnering with NPHub, she went from a handful of students a semester to more than 30 completed rotations, with coordination and documentation handled for her.
01
Students came to her, matched to her scope: Requests fit her mental health specialty and remote, telehealth-based practice automatically — no referrals or directory listings.
02
Paperwork handled across every school: NPHub absorbed the affiliation agreements and documentation — including out-of-state remote programs she'd never worked with before.
03
Protected boundaries and privacy: Contact info kept private, her remote-only preference and limited in-person hours respected — never cold-called or pushed past her schedule.
04
Fair financial compensation: Direct pay for teaching hours, the same way physicians are paid to teach.
05
Proactive support crew: A consistent NPHub team member checks in by text to keep her profile current and handle logistics, so coordination never falls back on her.

“One of the things I like about NPHub is that they help out a lot with the paperwork. I was doing a handful of students before, and after starting with them, that's when I really saw a lot more growth in how many students were reaching out.”
