When planning to apply to the distance track of the MS-PNP, applicants are encouraged to pursue potential SEL sites and preceptors. A listing of SEL types can be found below, along with the Student SEL Schedule and the Preceptor Commitment Form. While completion of these forms is not required for program application, should a student have identified sites/committed preceptors, the completed forms should be uploaded to their DICAS application.
Note: SELs cannot be secured at sites in Suffolk County, NY
