AGACNP preceptor support for New York University students

• Program: Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner
• School: New York University
• Directory location: New York, New York
• Verified pathways: MSN and DNP
• 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.

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

• Official AGACNP source 1, MSN: Official page explicitly identifies the AGACNP specialty (Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner | NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing).
• Official AGACNP source 2, MSN: Official page explicitly identifies the AGACNP specialty (Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (MS) | NYU Bulletins).
• Official AGACNP source 3, DNP: Official page explicitly identifies the AGACNP specialty (Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (DNP) | NYU Bulletins).

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 published pathway set is MSN and DNP. 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, acuity, 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 New York University's rule. Confirm the exact current requirement before sourcing.

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.

Look for an acute-care NP or physician whose real clinical practice supports the required patient acuity and activities. Then compare that candidate with the current credential and site rules. A strong clinical match is still a proposal until the program reviews it.

New York, New York identifies the school record, but it does not define a clinical territory. A student may need to consider nearby or more distant acute-care services if the program permits travel. We confirm the allowed location before screening sites so outreach stays inside the student's actual boundaries.

For wider geographic context, read the AGACNP placement guide for New York. It describes the state's acute-care landscape without assigning a policy to New York University or claiming that a named hospital accepts students.

• 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.

A search request works best when it includes the active course, dates, location limits, acute setting, adult-gerontology population, competencies, hour need, preceptor rules, and approval documents. See how the process works, then bring the current program materials into the first conversation.

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