Drexel NP preceptors in New Hampshire
New Hampshire is open to Drexel's online NP programs, and your clinical hours can stay in the state. The Board's filings for schools from other states are written for prelicensure programs, so a licensed Drexel NP student mostly deals with Drexel's process, not the Board's. Southern New Hampshire students should mind the Massachusetts line.

Drexel programs a New Hampshire resident can take
No Drexel exclusion list names New Hampshire. You can enroll in any NP MSN track or NP post-master's certificate, in the post-master's DNP or in the RN-to-BSN, and plan NP clinical hours inside the state.
| Program | Enrollment | For your clinical plan |
|---|---|---|
| MSN NP, every track | Open | Sites in NH or another open state |
| NP post-master's certificates | Open | AGPCNP certificate: hours in NH or Pennsylvania |
| Post-master's DNP | Open | Practicum mentor, doctorate-prepared |
| RN-to-BSN | Open | Online, no campus visits |
Program-by-program detail for every state is on Drexel's state authorization page.
The NH Board's placement rule and why it sits outside your path
New Hampshire spells out a detailed rule for schools from other states. Nur 602.15(j) has an approved prelicensure program headquartered outside the state register with the Board before students arrive, send six weeks' warning ahead of every placement and file paperwork at three levels: a Clinical Preceptor Agreement for each preceptor, a Part B placement form for each rotation and a Form A petition every year.
OPLC's education page puts post-licensure programs, naming RN-BSN and RN-MSN, beyond the Board's regulation. Drexel's NP tracks admit licensed RNs, so that paperwork belongs to other schools. The rule's own status is also uncertain: the Cornell LII copy lists an expiration date of January 23, 2026, yet OPLC was still referring to it in January. When a New Hampshire site raises Board paperwork, refer it to Drexel's contracting team.
Licenses, the compact and the Boston metro
Your neighbors Vermont and Maine joined the compact on January 19, 2018, the same day New Hampshire did. Drexel's two answers on licensure differ for you. The Clinical Compliance certifications page is content with a New Hampshire multistate license, while the program pages want Pennsylvania licensure in hand before your first clinical course. Clinical Compliance can tell you which rule governs your cohort, and the Pennsylvania license page walks through both.
More than 459,000 New Hampshire residents live inside the Boston-Cambridge-Newton metro, and for some of them a Massachusetts site is the nearest option. Massachusetts has not yet implemented the compact, with May 2027 as its target, so Drexel's non-compact rule means a Massachusetts license before hours there. See the Massachusetts page.
Full practice NPs and Drexel's list
AANP rates New Hampshire full practice, so NPs here can practice with no physician agreement required. For Drexel, your New Hampshire preceptor is an NP, a CNM or a doctor in a Drexel-approved specialty, currently board certified, with a year or more of practice and a New Hampshire license. PAs aren't on Drexel's list. No New Hampshire preceptor incentive was found, so the offer to a preceptor comes from Drexel: an honorary faculty title, a Certificate of Appreciation each term and discounted Drexel CE courses.
Where New Hampshire students ask
Dartmouth Health, home of Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, is the state's academic system. Catholic Medical Center, an HCA Healthcare hospital, and Concord Hospital Health System serve the middle of the state, while Southern New Hampshire Health and Elliot Health System cover Manchester-Nashua. SolutionHealth, the system those two founded, may be coming apart after a July 2025 proposal to dissolve it, so contact each hospital's student office on its own. None is a named Drexel partner.
Why New Hampshire students choose us
We sort out the Board, license and Massachusetts questions before a single preceptor hears your name, then search Manchester-Nashua, Concord and the country around Dartmouth Hitchcock for clinicians who fit your Drexel track. Your placement advisor checks every preceptor against Drexel's list, collects the preceptor documents, and finds out who signs agreements at the site. Drexel approves; we deliver a file that is complete from the start. Lose a preceptor mid-quarter and a replacement search starts the same day. Start your New Hampshire search.
Questions Drexel students ask
Can I do Drexel AGACNP clinicals in New Hampshire?
Yes. New Hampshire is open to the AGACNP, whose 800 hours run through NURS 570 to NURS 573 and NURS 580 in medical, surgical and critical care settings, typically two eight-hour days a week. Hospital-based acute care preceptors are the target, and the site signs Drexel's affiliation agreement.
Do New Hampshire's Form A and Part B filings apply to Drexel NP students?
They are written for prelicensure programs. They come from Nur 602.15(j), which applies to out-of-state schools preparing students for a first license; OPLC counts post-licensure programs as outside the Board's regulation. Drexel's NP tracks enroll licensed RNs, so Drexel's own contracting process is what your site completes.
Can I do clinicals in Massachusetts if I live in southern New Hampshire?
With a Massachusetts RN license, yes, as long as the site accepts Drexel's agreement. Massachusetts has passed the compact but not finished implementing it, so your New Hampshire multistate license doesn't reach there yet. Drexel's compliance rule then asks for that state's own license.
Is a Pennsylvania license needed if my New Hampshire license is multistate?
Maybe not, but confirm. By the compliance page's reading, your New Hampshire multistate license can replace Pennsylvania's, and Pennsylvania is now a compact state. Drexel's program pages still require Pennsylvania licensure before clinicals, so email dhcompliance@drexel.edu before your first clinical quarter.
