NP Preceptorship Program

NP Preceptorship Program

Aeris Medical Group offers NP preceptorships on a by-application basis, one semester at a time. We hand-select a small number of students each cycle — those who are genuinely interested in practicing in nursing home and long-term care settings and who we believe could be a fit for our team after graduation. This is not a placement for everyone, and that is by design.

Who We're Looking For

We are looking for third-year NP students who want more than a rotation. We are looking for students who are seriously considering long-term care as a career path — not just exploring it — and who want to see what that looks like from the inside.

To be considered, you should:

• Be currently enrolled in your third (final clinical) year of an accredited NP graduate program

• Have a graduate GPA of 3.5 or higher

• Have a genuine interest in practicing in nursing homes or long-term care settings after graduation — this should be a direction you are actively pursuing, not casually considering

• Have prior experience in a nursing home or long-term care environment — in any role (does not need to be as an RN)

• Hold an active RN license in good standing

• Demonstrate strong clinical and professional performance in your program

• Be open to — and genuinely interested in — future employment conversations with Aeris Medical Group upon graduation

We give strong preference to students who have spent real time in skilled nursing or long-term care — whether as an aide, LPN, RN, or in another capacity. That experience tells us a great deal about who you are and whether this setting is a genuine fit for you. Students who do not have that background are unlikely to be selected.

How It Works

• Preceptorships are offered one semester at a time and filled by invitation — we do not accept open applications on a rolling basis

• Students are placed with an experienced Aeris Medical Group nurse practitioner in an active long-term care or skilled nursing setting

• Clinical hours completed during the preceptorship may count toward your NP program requirements — coordinate with your program director

• At the conclusion of the preceptorship, students who are a strong fit will be invited to have a career conversation with our clinical leadership team
