[NPInfo]: Alumni responsibility & skills education in NP programs

[suernfnp at iwon.com]

I was a clinical preceptor for a student in the ANP program for St. Louis University online last year. I never heard from the University until after the rotation was done and I had sent in the evaluation form the student gave me. I had no objectives from the university. I have no idea if the rotation met the class goals. I want to promote our profession, but I will never be a preceptor for this university again.
