A published AGPCNP page confirms a current pathway, not every operational detail around clinical education. Use the links below as the source record, then verify the student's course documents before contacting a preceptor or site.

Official Florida Southern College sources checked July 21, 2026 support the MSN and post-graduate certificate pathway record. Public program evidence answers whether the pathway is represented here, but the program must answer the separate questions about objectives, geography, hours, eligibility, and approval.

• Official AGPCNP source 1, post-graduate certificate: Official page explicitly identifies the AGPCNP specialty (Post-Masters Certificate in Nursing - Florida Southern College).
• Official AGPCNP source 2, MSN: Official page explicitly identifies the AGPCNP specialty (MSN: Adult-Gerontology - Florida Southern College).

These citations are included for verification, not as an endorsement of our service. Read the current official page and ask the program to confirm any requirement that affects the proposed preceptor or site.

A strong AGPCNP placement lets the student follow clinical decisions over time, not merely observe one isolated encounter. Population fit, preventive care, stable condition management, functional assessment, and care coordination all matter. The program decides how those experiences must be demonstrated.

Start with the missing competencies, then choose a setting. Adult primary care and internal medicine can support longitudinal volume; geriatrics and long-term care can add frailty and functional assessment; community health can add access and population context. Formal eligibility still belongs to Florida Southern College.

The published pathway set is MSN and post-graduate certificate. Before sourcing, separate that public fact from the student's individual clinical need. Confirm the active course, required outcomes, remaining approved hours, site boundaries, and candidate credentials with the program.

Course objectives are the bridge between a pathway label and a workable placement. Pair each objective with the patient population, continuity, setting, and supervised activity it requires, then ask the program whether the proposed combination is eligible before treating it as final.

The hour plan must come from the student's program record. Nationally, NTF recommends a 750-hour direct patient care minimum for an NP population track, and the certification bodies publish a 500-hour faculty-supervised eligibility floor. Neither figure is presented here as Florida Southern College's rule. Confirm the exact current requirement before sourcing.

Use the AGPCNP clinical hours guide for national context and the preceptor requirements guide for screening questions. Neither guide replaces the program's current instructions.

The clinician should actively provide longitudinal primary care to the adult or older-adult population the student needs. A title without matching practice is not enough. We document the candidate and setting for Florida Southern College to consider rather than declaring either one approved.

Begin with the geography the program approves, not an assumption based on the Lakeland campus listing. Primary-care capacity may be broader or narrower than the school location suggests. Every proposed clinician and site still needs program review.

The AGPCNP placement guide for Florida adds state-level context for internal medicine, adult primary care, geriatrics, community health, and long-term care. Apply the exact location and approval rules confirmed by the student's program.

• The exact course, clinical objectives, term dates, and remaining approved hours
• The approved geography, adult-gerontology population, continuity objectives, and setting
• The proposed clinician's license, certification, specialty, primary-care role and availability
• The site's practice setting, patient mix, and opportunities tied to the objectives
• Every current preceptor, site, compliance, and submission form supplied by the program

Document the match in the program's own terms. The file should show candidate qualifications, adult-gerontology primary-care role, site context, objective alignment, dates, and availability. The school can require additional review or documents that we cannot approve.

Once the current checklist is clear, send the course, term dates, approved geography, required setting, patient population, remaining hours, candidate criteria, and forms. Our placement process uses that brief to look for a possible match before the program evaluates it.

This is independent placement support, not a school service or endorsement. We can source and organize a candidate file for Florida Southern College to review, but we cannot promise placement, acceptance, contracts, credentialing, or a timeline.
