Terms of Use

We are an independent service. We are not Thomas Edison State University, the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), or any nursing board, and nothing on this site should be read as a claim of affiliation, partnership, sponsorship, or endorsement by any of them. We are not retained by, and do not speak for, TESU.

Because we are independent, your enrollment, academic standing, course requirements, practicum project approval, and graduation are governed entirely by your agreement with TESU and its current handbook and policies. Our service sits alongside that relationship to help you find and secure a preceptor; it does not change or override anything in it.

The information on this site and the guidance we give is general in nature. It is meant to help you understand the placement process and plan ahead. It is not legal advice, not academic or enrollment advising, and not clinical or medical advice, and it does not create any professional relationship beyond the service you engage us for.

Program rules change and vary by track, state, and term, so confirm the specifics with TESU before you act. For any hour count, credit total, course sequence, or deadline, rely on your current official TESU handbook. One caution: the Post-Graduate APRN certificate is pursuing initial CCNE accreditation and is not yet accredited, so confirm its current status directly with TESU. Where our pages cite published figures, such as the FNP practicum's 750 clinical hours, we verify them against your program rather than presenting them as fixed.

When you engage us, we work to identify and secure an approvable preceptor in your NP or nursing track and state, and we support you through the documentation your program asks for. Our fee covers sourcing, verification, and coordination only; it is never a payment to a preceptor, because preceptors are not paid by us.

Any fee is disclosed to you in writing before you commit, so there are no surprises, and payment is structured around results: your service fee is due once a preceptor is secured for you, on the terms set out in your engagement. Our fees are for placement assistance only. We never collect, hold, or refund tuition; tuition is strictly between you and TESU. A preceptor we propose still has to be reviewed and approved by TESU before it counts, and we cannot guarantee that TESU approves a given preceptor or site, that a site accepts you, or any licensing-board decision. Keep in mind that TESU requires you to carry malpractice insurance before you register for practicum courses.
