When a student's current baccalaureate nursing course explicitly permits or requires the student to propose a community field-experience site, preceptor, or mentor, independent sourcing support is available to Benedictine University students. The school makes every approval decision, while accreditation confirms only a baccalaureate nursing degree.

Use this snapshot as an identity and evidence check, not as a handbook. The accreditor record supports a baccalaureate nursing degree at Benedictine 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 Benedictine University. Treat curriculum pathway, field work, hours, affiliation rules, placement responsibility, and candidate eligibility as separate facts that require current school sources.
Before outreach, identify the student's exact pathway and course, then collect the current catalog page, handbook section, degree audit, course objectives, placement forms, and contact instructions. Ask the program whether it coordinates the experience or explicitly permits the student to propose a person or site.
Traditional and accelerated prelicensure clinical placements are generally coordinated by the nursing program. A prelicensure student should use Benedictine University's current placement office and assigned process. Outside help is appropriate only if current written instructions explicitly permit the student to propose a site or preceptor. Accreditation does not tell us whether that exception exists.
Post-licensure field work can differ sharply from prelicensure rotations. If the program verifies an RN-to-BSN or similar course and permits the student to propose a site, the experience may involve community, population, education, quality, leadership, or care-coordination objectives. No such offering is inferred here.
A possible setting might be a public-health program, community clinic, school-health service, occupational-health team, home-health or hospice organization, nonprofit, care-coordination unit, quality team, or population-health service. A possible mentor might be an experienced registered nurse or another qualified professional whose role matches the course. The program decides eligibility.
There is no universal BSN clinical or field-experience total across schools and pathways. Required hours vary by state, program, pathway, course, and catalog year. Do not use a number from another institution, an older handbook, or a different pathway as Benedictine University's requirement. Confirm the current handbook, degree audit, course instructions, and placement office.
Read how BSN practice requirements vary, then verify the active course with Benedictine University. Planning should begin only after the program confirms the amount, experience type, placement process, location, candidate role, setting, and forms.
The directory records Lisle, Illinois as the institution location. It does not determine the student's eligible placement area or authorize a site. Ask Benedictine University to confirm state and setting boundaries, then evaluate a candidate for relevant work, credentials, availability, paperwork, and site participation.
Read the BSN preceptor and field-experience guide for Illinois for geographic context. Its examples are general and do not turn a person or site into an approved Benedictine University experience.
A complete proposal connects the current course to a specific person and setting. Document credentials, role, experience, site, availability, supervision, and willingness to complete school paperwork. This preparation helps Benedictine University review the request but cannot replace its affiliation, compliance, authorization, or approval process.
Confirm these items before outreach: the exact baccalaureate pathway and course; whether the program coordinates placement or permits a student proposal; the approved requirement and dates; eligible state and setting; candidate credentials; course objectives; conflicts; affiliation and compliance process; school and site forms; and submission deadline.
If the confirmed course allows a student-proposed person or setting, send the pathway, objectives, dates, geography, role criteria, site criteria, and forms through the matching request. Our process guide explains how screening supports, but never replaces, program review.

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. Benedictine 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 Benedictine 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.
