AGACNP preceptor support for Marquette University students

• Program: Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner
• School: Marquette University
• Directory location: Milwaukee, Wisconsin
• Verified pathways: MSN, DNP, and post-graduate certificate
• Official evidence checked: July 21, 2026
• Clinical population: adults and older adults with complex, acute, critical, or unstable conditions
• Approval authority: the student's current program

Treat the pathway list as an evidence boundary, not a summary of school policy. The official pages establish the AGACNP credential routes shown here, while the current handbook and program contact remain the authorities for hours, sites, preceptors, forms, and deadlines.

As of July 21, 2026, the official links below identify MSN, DNP, and post-graduate certificate for the AGACNP specialty at Marquette University. That supports directory inclusion and pathway labeling only. It does not authorize us to infer a practicum rule from a degree name.

• Official AGACNP source 1, MSN, DNP, and post-graduate certificate: Official page explicitly identifies the AGACNP specialty (Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner // Graduate School // Marquette University).
• Official AGACNP source 2, post-graduate certificate: Official page explicitly identifies the AGACNP specialty (Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, Certificate | Marquette University).
• Official AGACNP source 3, MSN: Official page explicitly identifies the AGACNP specialty (Nursing, MSN | Marquette University).

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 right match gives the student supervised work with acute, critical, and medically complex adults and older adults. Population focus, acuity, and clinical tasks all matter. A program may define a place for adolescents, but that boundary must come from the student's current requirements rather than a generic assumption.

Potential settings include medical, surgical, cardiac, or neurologic intensive care; progressive care; emergency departments; hospitalist teams; and inpatient specialty services. A long-term acute care setting may also fit particular objectives. We screen the clinical substance first and leave formal eligibility to the program.

The record identifies MSN, DNP, and post-graduate certificate. Those credential labels help route the inquiry, but they do not reveal the student's entry point, course sequence, remaining hours, or clinical dates. Bring the exact course and current plan of study into the search so a pathway label is never treated as a policy.

A useful clinical request names what the student must actually do under supervision. Define the target population, acuity, care setting, procedures or skills, and expected level of participation. That detail lets a prospective preceptor assess fit without making promises on the program's behalf.

Two national benchmarks are often confused: the NTF recommendation of at least 750 direct patient care hours per NP population track and the 500 faculty-supervised clinical hour floor used in certification eligibility. A student's program can require or distribute hours differently. Ask Marquette University to confirm the actual AGACNP total and approved balance.

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

A prospective preceptor is generally a board-certified acute-care nurse practitioner or an appropriately licensed physician whose current inpatient or acute role matches the objectives. Certification, licensure, experience, specialty, site, and relationship to the student may all matter, but Marquette University decides which candidate is eligible. We document the candidate for that review rather than declaring approval.

Use Milwaukee as a directory reference only. The student's residence, state authorization, licensure context, commuting limits, and program instructions can produce a different search area. No city or state mention on this page promises site availability.

The AGACNP placement guide for Wisconsin adds state-level context about acute and inpatient settings. Use it to frame the search, then apply the exact location and approval rules confirmed by the program.

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

Before submission, assemble the candidate's license and certification details, current acute role, site and service, population and acuity, schedule, and fit with each objective. The program may request additional documents or decline the proposal. We never treat a complete file as a guarantee.

The first useful step is a complete clinical brief rather than a broad request for any preceptor. Share the student's approved requirements through the matching form. We can then search for acute-care fit without claiming authority we do not have.

We do not represent Marquette University and have no authority to approve a clinician, site, schedule, or clinical plan. Our independent role is limited to searching and documenting a possible match. Availability, review time, and the final program decision cannot be guaranteed.
