Precepting Students with the College of Nursing
Preceptors play an important role in the education of our students. Our dedicated preceptors help us provide a rich learning environment for our students. Please check this page often for information about precepting students and the benefits of precepting for the College of Nursing.
Preceptors –
You can earn 12 CEUs by precepting one student for a minimum of 120 hours. This has been approved by the Iowa Board of Nursing, effective January 2018. The College of Nursing will send you a certificate confirming hours and student you were a preceptor for that serves as your documentation.
