Preceptors are essential for training the next generation of NPs! We’re grateful to members like Beth Jaeger-Landis, APRN, MSN, ACNP-BC, who are committed to serving in these important roles. #VCNP50 #WeChooseNPs “I serve as a preceptor to provide valuable education for FNP students. I want to provide students with as much clinical education as possible before they graduate so they feel empowered to work in primary care.”
