Preceptor spotlight on Johnny Llanes, APRN, FNP-C 🔦
Llanes is a family nurse practitioner at Merced Family Health Clinic in Palmview, Texas, where is precepts multiple Aggie nurses in the College of Nursing's FNP program each semester.
In his own words:
"Serving as a preceptor for Texas A&M University has been one of the greatest honors of my career as a nurse practitioner. Guiding future nurse practitioners through their clinical rotations allows me to witness the moment when knowledge transforms into confidence and compassion. I always remind my students that excellence in practice begins with humility — be willing to listen, to learn and to ask thoughtful questions. Master your clinical skills, but never forget that patients remember how you made them feel more than the diagnosis you gave. Stay curious, remain ethical and treat every patient encounter as an opportunity to grow. The future of healthcare is in your hands, and with dedication, integrity and heart, you will make a difference far beyond the exam room."
Gig 'em, Johnny!
