Tell us your CUW program and where you live. A placement advisor replies with the preceptor and site options that fit your course.
The service
Concordia Preceptor is an independent placement service for Concordia University Wisconsin nursing students. We search for preceptors and clinical sites that fit a student's CUW course, prepare preceptor and site information for the student's submission to CUW, and help find a replacement if a preceptor steps away.
CUW does not run this service, and the information on this site is not an official CUW statement. In these terms, "we", "us" and "our" mean Concordia Preceptor, and "you" means the person using the site or the service.
CUW's role and final approval
Concordia University Wisconsin's graduate faculty review and approve every preceptor and clinical site its students use, and that approval is final in every case. CUW's catalog, program pages, student guides, course syllabi and faculty set the rules for your program.
Where anything on this site or in our communications differs from CUW's current requirements, CUW's requirements apply.
No promise of placement, approval or dates
We work hard to find a suitable preceptor and site for you. We do not promise that one will be found, that one will be found by a particular date, that CUW will approve a site or preceptor we identify, or that you will start or finish any course or program on a particular timetable.
Preceptors and sites make their own decisions and may change or withdraw their availability at any time, including after CUW's approval.
Your responsibilities
You remain responsible for meeting CUW's requirements and deadlines, whether or not we are helping you. In particular, you are responsible for:
- submitting the documentation CUW asks for, including the practicum proposal, your CastleBranch items and anything your course asks you to record, on time;
- holding an active, unencumbered RN license wherever a practicum site is located;
- completing background checks, drug screens, health clearance, immunizations and any site requirements before patient contact;
- logging hours and encounters accurately and following each site's rules;
- staying in contact with your program and course faculty;
- giving us accurate information and telling us promptly about any change.
Fees
Our fees are quoted individually, based on your program, course, location and timing, and your quote sets out what it covers. Charges made by a clinical site or other third party, and CUW's own tuition and fees, are separate from our fee. CUW's student guides describe the clinical requirements and costs that sit with the student.
Information on this site
Our guides summarize CUW's public catalog, program pages, published nursing documents and other official sources as of the date shown on each page. They are general information, not academic, legal or professional advice, and CUW's rules can change. Check your syllabus, the current handbook and your course faculty before relying on any detail.
Communications
Sending us your details means you consent to our contacting you about your enquiry and placement by email, phone call or text message, as our privacy policy describes. Reply STOP to any text to opt out of text messages.
Acceptable use
Please use this site for its intended purpose. Do not submit false information, misuse the forms or chat, or copy the site's content for commercial use without permission.
Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, Concordia Preceptor is not liable for losses that arise from the decisions of CUW, a preceptor or a clinical site, from delays in approval or course progression, or from reliance on the general information on this site. Nothing in these terms limits any right you have that cannot be limited by law.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms from time to time. Each revision carries a new date at the top of the page. Questions about these terms can be sent through the contact page or the chat.

CUW asks you to secure your preceptors. We make the search the easy part.
Tell us your CUW track, your city and your next clinical course. We line up preceptors who fit the NURS course, gather the license, board certification and site details CUW's graduate faculty review, and flag early whether the site needs a new clinical contract.
- Preceptors matched to the course: primary care for FNP and AGPCNP, mental health settings for PMHNP, an agency mentor for DNP projects
- Preceptor license, certification, CV and site details ready for CUW's approval
