When a student's current baccalaureate nursing course explicitly permits or requires the student to propose a community field-experience site, preceptor, or mentor, Augustana University students may request independent candidate sourcing. Program review stays final, and directory inclusion proves no particular pathway or field requirement.

Use this snapshot as an identity and evidence check, not as a handbook. The accreditor record supports a baccalaureate nursing degree at Augustana University; it cannot answer which pathways are active, how courses are delivered, whether field work applies, or who coordinates placement.
The directory basis is CCNE evidence, verified July 21, 2026, for baccalaureate nursing education at Augustana University. Treat curriculum pathway, field work, hours, affiliation rules, placement responsibility, and candidate eligibility as separate facts that require current school sources.
A useful request begins with a current requirement packet. Confirm the pathway, course objective, placement ownership, eligible setting, location, candidate qualifications, compliance steps, affiliation process, and approval deadline. If the program has not authorized a student proposal, outside sourcing should not begin.
If the student's confirmed pathway leads to initial RN licensure, the program generally coordinates clinical experiences. Begin with Augustana University's assigned-placement process. An external search is suitable only when the current course documents explicitly allow the student to propose a site or preceptor for program review.
For a verified post-licensure course that permits a student proposal, the setting should follow the applied objective rather than mimic a prelicensure hospital rotation. Community, population-health, quality, education, leadership, and coordination work are possible categories, not claims about Augustana University's offerings.
The candidate screen should connect a real course objective to a suitable professional and organization. Depending on current program rules, that could involve community health, public health, school health, occupational health, home health, hospice, nonprofit work, quality, coordination, or population services. A title alone never establishes mentor or preceptor eligibility.
Baccalaureate nursing practice requirements cannot be reduced to one reliable number. Hours vary with the state, program, pathway, course, and catalog year. Ask Augustana University to confirm the student's current requirement in writing, then use that answer rather than an online comparison or a figure from another school.
Read how BSN practice requirements vary, then verify the active course with Augustana University. Planning should begin only after the program confirms the amount, experience type, placement process, location, candidate role, setting, and forms.
Sioux Falls, South Dakota is the directory location for Augustana University; it is not a promise that a student can place there. The program must confirm permitted states and location restrictions. Geography is only one screen, alongside pathway, course objectives, setting fit, candidate credentials, site capacity, and affiliation terms.
Use the South Dakota BSN field-experience overview to think through local setting categories and geography. It does not establish authorization or approval rules for Augustana University; only the current program can do that.
Before submission, organize the candidate's professional role, active credentials, relevant experience, site, availability, relationship to the student, and fit with each course objective. Attach current school forms rather than a generic template. The program may still need contracts, compliance materials, authorization checks, or other approvals.
A complete planning brief names the student's actual pathway and course and records the approved experience, requirement, dates, location, setting, person, credentials, objectives, proposal permission, forms, conflicts, affiliation steps, compliance items, and submission sequence.
The BSN placement workflow separates requirement review, permission confirmation, candidate sourcing, documentation, and school approval. After the current course permits a proposal, request a match to start an independent search.
Our role is limited to independent candidate sourcing and documentation when the program permits it. BSNPreceptor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Augustana University, cannot waive any school or site requirement, and does not guarantee placement or approval.
It applies only when the student's current baccalaureate nursing course explicitly permits or requires the student to propose a community field-experience site, preceptor, or mentor. Augustana University makes every approval decision.
No. The accreditation evidence establishes a baccalaureate nursing degree on the verification date. It does not prove prelicensure, accelerated, RN-to-BSN, modality, hours, field requirements, or placement policy.
There is no universal BSN clinical or field-experience total. Required hours vary by state, program, pathway, course, and catalog year. Confirm the current handbook, degree audit, course instructions, and placement office.
Traditional and accelerated prelicensure placements are generally program-coordinated. Use the school's current placement process. Outside sourcing is appropriate only if the program explicitly permits the student to propose a person or site for the current course.
No. BSNPreceptor is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Augustana University. We source and document possible candidates only when program instructions permit it, and we do not guarantee placement or approval.

Outside sourcing applies only when the current program explicitly permits or requires a student-proposed preceptor, mentor, or site. An advisor reviews the course instructions before candidate sourcing begins.
We do not guarantee placement. Final approval rests with your program.
