Atlas Analysis

Open now. The Washington State Board of Nursing is accepting reimbursement submissions for the Summer 2026 cycle of the Washington State Student Nurse Preceptorship Grant (WSSNPG).

The current reimbursement rate is $500 per eligible student precepted. A nurse preceptor may receive payment for up to two students per payment cycle. For the Summer 2026 cycle, all required documentation is due September 15, 2026. The current controlling webpage does not publish a closing clock time or time zone, so Atlas does not infer one.

Eligible preceptors: Washington-licensed Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses, and Licensed Practical Nurses who have an active license, at least one year of clinical or practice experience, and are employed at an approved practice site. Each qualifying preceptorship must include at least 80 hours of clinical instruction per student. The clinical site must be approved by a Washington nursing education program, and RN and LPN pre-licensure students must be in their final clinical term. Refresher course and RN-BSN preceptorships do not qualify.

Application mechanics: The preceptor must maintain a personal Statewide Vendor Number through the Washington Office of Financial Management and complete the online Preceptor Hours Reporting Form for the current cycle. The nursing program separately submits the verification of hours. The Board states that all required information and documents must be received by the firm cycle deadline.

Atlas Opportunity Score: 84/100. This is a well-defined, currently open healthcare workforce incentive that directly supports nursing clinical education and preceptor capacity, although the award is an individual reimbursement rather than an organization-level transformation grant.

N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. Funds are incentive payments to qualifying individual nurse preceptors and do not establish a commercial procurement pathway for telehealth, RPM, remote physical examination, or N9+ technology. QC Healthcare fit: 0/100. Dr. Miltie direct-applicant fit: 0/100.
