For Nurse Practitioner Students

Children’s Mercy is committed to supporting graduate nursing education. To maintain an equitable process please review the below carefully prior to initiating submission for clinical hours at Children’s Mercy.

Placement process

All interested students must submit for clinical hours by the deadlines below.

Children’s Mercy Nurse Practitioners volunteer to provide preceptor hours each semester. The Advanced Practiced Education Program Managers review and match students and preceptors based on availability and need. Students should not contact individual Nurse Practitioners to set up clinical time.

How do we decide who receives APRN clinical hours?

Please note the demand for clinical hours is high and priority placement is given to Children’s Mercy Employees. While we do accept requests from external students, we cannot guarantee 
placement.

Decisions

Students will receive an email of approval stating the preceptor, location, and number of hours with instructions to upload their compliance documentation into Call of Medicine, our online platform for ensuring student compliance with immunizations, drug screening, background checks, etc.
