Join Us as a Baylor Preceptor
Baylor University’s Louise Herrington School of Nursing (LHSON) Online is in search of Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) and Registered Nurses (RNs) whose discipline may include family practice, women's health, pediatrics, adult-gerontology, psychiatric-mental health, med-surg, among other medical practices.

Preceptors are valuable healthcare providers who share their experience and help mentor nursing students by providing real-world learning opportunities and experiences in a clinical setting. As a Baylor preceptor, you will be working with nursing students that have been educated at the highest level of academic excellence. Additionally, you will help advance the careers of nursing professionals and give back to the profession in which you yourself received mentorship. In fact, many preceptors find great pride in giving back to the profession in which they work.
