Students pay $10 per matched preceptor — not per rotation. One preceptor may cover several rotations, depending on your school's rules. Preceptor and school accounts are free; preceptors only pay if they opt into private messaging.
A typical FNP program needs four rotations. Here is what a student pays to staff those rotations on Preceptor.Network compared to traditional placement services.
A match is one confirmed preceptor. The $10 fee is charged per matched preceptor — not per rotation. Some schools allow a single preceptor to cover two or more rotations; in that case you only pay $10 once for that preceptor, not $10 per rotation. So a 4-rotation program might cost $10, $20, $30, or $40 total — depending on how many preceptors it takes to cover the four rotations.
Numbers from public student reports on TikTok, Reddit, and nursing forums — and from placement service websites themselves. Placement services almost always charge per rotation. On Preceptor.Network you pay $10 per matched preceptor, so if one preceptor covers two of your rotations you pay $10 once — not twice.
Rotation falling through? Some preceptors hold open slots for these moments.
Store credentials securely; share with a matched preceptor.

Come back as a preceptor after graduation — one pre-filled form.
Every match fee is the same and includes the same things. There are no tiers.
Some preceptors set a precepting fee for the time they invest in mentoring you. Many do not. Either way, the fee, payment method, and payment terms are always shown on the preceptor's profile — before you pick a match.
Per preceptor. A "match" means one confirmed preceptor relationship — and a single preceptor may cover one, two, or more of your rotations depending on your school's rules. You pay $10 once for that preceptor, not $10 per rotation. So a 4-rotation program might cost $10, $20, $30, or up to $40 total, depending on how many preceptors you need.
When the preceptor accepts your match request. Browsing, searching, and submitting requests are always free.
No. There is no monthly, annual, or per-seat fee for any role. The only platform fee is the $10 per confirmed match.
If a preceptor cancels before the rotation begins, contact support and we will help re-match you or refund the connection fee.
Some do, some do not. Each profile lists the precepting fee — if any — up front. The platform $10 is separate from any precepting fee paid to a preceptor.
Preceptor accounts and the matching flow itself are free — profile, capacity controls, receiving and accepting requests are all included at no cost. The one exception is private messaging, which is an optional preceptor-side paid feature. Preceptors who opt in pay; preceptors who don't opt in pay nothing.
Free as well. Domain registration, program rule configuration, and student auto-recognition come standard for any accredited program.
