Application & Requirements for Nurse Practitioner Graduate Student (Clinical)
Consideration for Nurse Practitioner student clinical placement is by online application only.

Priority placement is given to Clemson University School of Nursing, our primary nursing academic partner.

Completion of the application does not guarantee clinical placement for any NP graduate nursing student or Prisma Health team member.

Requests for placement will not be honored for any student or team member seeking preceptors on their own within the clinical learning environment at Prisma Health–Upstate.
We are unable to accommodate 1-2 day observation requests from NP students.
