This snapshot reports only what the linked official program evidence supports. It does not assign a delivery format, clinical sequence, hour total, placement responsibility, preceptor rule, or approval timeline to University of Rochester. Confirm each of those details with the current 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 AGACNP specialty. The student's present course materials still control the clinical request.

• Official AGACNP source 1, post-graduate certificate: Official page explicitly identifies the AGACNP specialty (Adult-Gerontology Acute Care NP Advanced Certificate Program | University of Rochester School of Nursing).
• Official AGACNP source 2, MSN: Official page explicitly identifies the AGACNP specialty (Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Program | University of Rochester School of Nursing).

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.

Begin with the patient acuity and course outcomes. AGACNP preparation concerns episodic, complex, and critical illness across adulthood and older adulthood, including frail older adults. It is not an FNP or adult-gerontology primary-care rotation, and an ambulatory setting does not become acute care simply because an NP works there.

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.

A MSN and post-graduate certificate listing tells us which AGACNP 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.

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.

Do not calculate this student's need from a national number. NTF recommends at least 750 direct patient care hours for an NP track, while AGACNP certification eligibility materials refer to a minimum of 500 faculty-supervised clinical hours. The current program determines the applicable total, course allocation, simulation treatment, and remaining 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.

The clinician should actively practice in the acute or inpatient work the student needs. A matching board-certified acute-care NP or licensed physician is a reasonable search target, but credentials alone do not establish eligibility. The program reviews the person's role, background, site, and proposed supervision.

Rochester, 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 University of Rochester 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

An approval-ready proposal identifies the clinician's role, credentials, specialty, practice setting, patient population, availability, and connection to the course objectives. It also carries the forms supplied by the student. This organization supports review but does not replace any contract, compliance step, authorization check, or decision the program may require.

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

AGACNP Preceptor has no affiliation with University of Rochester. We help students search for potential acute-care preceptors and sites, subject to the program's current rules and final approval. No page, conversation, or submitted form creates a guarantee.
