Contact BSNPreceptor

Use the request form or start a live chat, whichever is easier for you. The request form is best when you already know your school and your deadline, because it lets us look at your situation and reply with something specific. Live chat is best for a quick question, such as whether your program places you or whether we serve your path at all.

There is no cost to request and nothing is billed until a match is confirmed and your school approves it. You can read the full model on how it works and cost before you reach out.

Lead with four things so we can answer honestly and quickly. The more precise your details, the faster we can tell you whether you even need a placement service.

• Your path: prelicensure BSN (traditional or accelerated) or RN-to-BSN. This is the single most important detail, because the two paths work very differently.
• Your school: the exact program name, so we can check its placement policy and typical field-experience requirement.
• Your state: where the proposed experience would occur, so the program can confirm authorization and location rules.
• Your deadline: when your field experience is due, so we can tell you whether the timeline is realistic.

If you are not sure how many hours your program requires, that is fine. There is no single national number for the BSN, so tell us your school and we will point you to your catalog rather than guess. You can also review BSN clinical hours and BSN by school first.

Traditional and accelerated prelicensure clinical placements are generally program-coordinated. Students on that path should use the program's placement process. We will not suggest outside sourcing unless current written instructions explicitly permit a student proposal.

Some post-licensure or other baccalaureate courses may permit or require a student to propose a community field-experience person or site. If that is the current rule, we can review the requirements and explain the independent sourcing process. See RN-to-BSN field experience for conditional examples.

There is no universal BSN clinical or field-experience total. Include the exact requirement from the active catalog, degree audit, course instructions, or placement office rather than relying on a comparison table.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting for any university. That independence is why we can give you a straight answer about whether you need us. It also means there are questions we cannot answer for you.

• We cannot advise on admissions or help you get into a program.
• We cannot advise on financial aid, tuition, or scholarships.
• We cannot approve your field experience; final approval always rests with your program.
• We cannot guarantee a placement; a match depends on availability and your school's sign-off.

For those questions, contact your program directly. For everything about self-sourcing a preceptor, we are glad to help, and the BSN preceptor FAQ and reviews may answer more before you write.
