AGPCNP preceptor support for Southern Adventist University students

• Program: Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner
• School: Southern Adventist University
• Directory location: Collegedale, Tennessee
• Verified pathways: MSN and post-graduate certificate
• Official evidence checked: July 21, 2026
• Clinical population: adults and older adults with stable or chronic conditions that benefit from ongoing care
• Setting landscape: internal medicine, adult primary care, geriatrics, community health, long-term care, chronic disease management, and approved specialty primary-care settings
• Approval authority: the student's current program

Current official pages support the program and pathway labels below. They do not establish the student's exact curriculum or the school's clinical approval process, so the search should pause until those requirements are confirmed directly with the program.

We verified the listed MSN and post-graduate certificate evidence on July 21, 2026. Each link belongs to the institution or its official catalog and names the AGPCNP specialty. The student's present course materials still control the clinical request.

• Official AGPCNP source 1, MSN and post-graduate certificate: Current official page separately lists the primary-care Adult-Gerontology master's and post-master's options.

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.

The placement should reflect the primary-care needs of adults across aging, from routine prevention through multimorbidity and frailty. That does not make every adult-facing clinic eligible. The proposed patient mix and activities must support the student's approved competencies.

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 Southern Adventist University.

A MSN and post-graduate certificate listing tells us which AGPCNP route appears in the official source set. It does not tell us where a student may complete clinical work or what a program will approve. Those answers belong in the current syllabus, handbook, and direct program guidance.

Break the practicum into the competencies that remain unmet. The search can then prioritize the right service and clinician instead of asking broadly for any AGPCNP preceptor. The program still reviews the combined picture and can request a different arrangement.

National figures are context, not a Southern Adventist University requirement. The 2022 NTF standards recommend at least 750 direct patient care hours for an NP population track. ANCC and AANPCB eligibility materials use at least 500 faculty-supervised clinical hours as a floor. Programs may set different totals and distributions, so confirm the student's exact AGPCNP requirement with the program.

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.

Preceptor screening asks whether the clinician's credential and real work align with the approved AGPCNP objectives. Adult-gerontology primary care NPs, other appropriate primary-care NPs, and physicians may be search candidates, but the program controls the final eligibility rules.

The directory lists Southern Adventist University in Collegedale, Tennessee. That is a planning anchor, not a statement about where students may complete clinical work. Confirm the student's authorized geography before outreach, since travel, licensure, site access, and program rules can change the practical search area.

Use the AGPCNP placement guide for Tennessee for broader primary-care, geriatrics, community health, long-term care, and chronic disease context. Any actual candidate and site must still pass the student's current program review.

• 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

A strong packet connects evidence to the course. Include the proposed preceptor's credentials and primary-care role, the site's patient mix and continuity model, the expected experiences, dates, schedule, and every program form the student has received.

Do the confirmation work before outreach: course and dates, approved location, clinical objectives, continuity needs, remaining hours, candidate credentials, and required forms. We use those facts to source carefully and submit a potential match for program review.

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