Completing UofM practicums from New Hampshire
A New Hampshire nurse starts with a tidy license picture, since New Hampshire and Tennessee both honor multistate RN licenses. The unsettled part sits with UofM: New Hampshire is left off the partnerships office's 16-state list, yet the licensure disclosure marks it yes. Get LCON's answer on that before you apply.

One multistate license, two states
New Hampshire started issuing compact licenses in January 2018, and Tennessee takes part in the same compact. A multistate license from New Hampshire, as your home state, therefore carries the right to work as an RN in Tennessee too.
That squares with UofM's admission standard for the MSN: RN practice rights in Tennessee, or in the approved state where the clinical work gets done. Keep the license active and unrestricted from admission to graduation (license requirements). Licensing runs through the Board of Nursing, which answers to OPLC, New Hampshire's professional licensing agency. On AANP's national map, New Hampshire NPs hold full practice authority.
UofM's marks for a New Hampshire address
| UofM program | New Hampshire in UofM's sources | Open item |
|---|---|---|
| MSN in Family, Adult-Gerontology Acute Care or Psychiatric-Mental Health NP | Licensure disclosure: requirements met | Absent from the 16-state list |
| NP graduate certificate | Certificate disclosure: requirements met | Same gap in the list |
| Nursing Education or Nursing Leadership | No licensure disclosure for these tracks | An authorization question for LCON |
| RN to BSN (online) | Only California residents are excluded | Check with UofM Global |
UofM Global separately points to NC-SARA membership covering 49 states, California excepted. Three sources, three answers: a written reply from LCON about New Hampshire is the one to act on. The state authorization guide compares them in detail.
What OPLC regulates, and what it leaves alone
Nur 602.15(j) is the rule New Hampshire wrote for pre-licensure schools based in other states. Such a school must first let the Board know it intends to use facilities in New Hampshire, and every placement needs six weeks' notice. Its paperwork has three layers (Form A once a year, then Part B for each rotation, then a Clinical Preceptor Agreement per preceptor). Out-of-state faculty supervising on site hold an unencumbered New Hampshire license.
Post-licensure tracks, RN to MSN and RN to BSN included, show up on OPLC's list as unregulated by the Board. UofM's MSN students are licensed RNs, which places them on that lighter side. One loose end: an online copy of the rule gives January 23, 2026 as its end date, OPLC was still pointing to it that same month, and research could not tell whether it was readopted. Ask LCON whether it plans any filing for your practicum.
Manchester, Nashua, Concord and the southern tier
Coursework is online and practicums happen in person near home, so a New Hampshire search stays close to where you live. Manchester-Nashua and the Concord micropolitan area anchor the middle of the state, while the slice of New Hampshire counted inside the Boston metro forms another cluster of practices.
For a sense of the settings, consider Concord Hospital, the HCA-owned Catholic Medical Center, Dartmouth Health (home to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center), the Elliot Health System and Southern New Hampshire Health. Naming them implies no arrangement with UofM. FNP students spend one rotation in family practice and hold their residency in family practice or internal medicine, and each NP track includes a rotation precepted by an NP (rotation rules).
Our work for New Hampshire students
Memphis Preceptor works to UofM's clinical rules from the first conversation. Whatever role UofM takes in placing you, our placement desk looks across New Hampshire for a preceptor and practice suited to your course, writes up the preceptor's credentials the way the agreement form expects them, and holds a fallback in reserve should a preceptor bow out. The steps are on how it works; tell us your nearest town and UofM track using the request form lower on this page.
Questions UofM students ask
Will my New Hampshire RN license work for UofM clinicals?
Yes, when it is a multistate license and your practicums sit in New Hampshire or another compact state. It already reaches Tennessee. UofM expects an unrestricted RN license for the whole program and ends enrollment for anyone who loses an unencumbered one, so keep renewals well ahead of schedule.
Does the New Hampshire Board need paperwork from UofM for my practicum?
The Board's out-of-state filing rule targets pre-licensure schools, while OPLC treats a program for already-licensed nurses, RN to MSN included, as outside Board oversight. That suggests a light touch for a licensed MSN student, but the rule's standing after January 2026 was unclear, so confirm with LCON.
Is New Hampshire on UofM's list of authorized states?
The partnerships office names 16 states, and New Hampshire is not one. Yet both licensure disclosures, MSN and certificate, rate it yes for every NP track, and UofM Global cites SARA coverage of 49 states. Ask LCON to confirm New Hampshire in writing before you apply.
When would a New Hampshire NP student need a preceptor?
Your first precepted UofM practicum arrives in a Spring term: about one year in if you began in Spring, closer to a year and a half if you began in Fall. Anyone starting practicums in Spring 2027 should have the preceptor question closed during Fall 2026. Track-by-track timing is on the first clinical course page.
