When a student's current baccalaureate nursing course explicitly permits or requires the student to propose a community field-experience site, preceptor, or mentor, our role is to source and document a possible match for California State University, East Bay review. The accreditation record does not identify pathway, modality, hours, or placement responsibility.
Last updated July 2026
This snapshot identifies the institution and the accreditation evidence used for directory inclusion. It does not say that California State University, East Bay offers prelicensure, accelerated, RN-to-BSN, online, or another pathway. It also does not establish a field experience, hours, student sourcing, or site rules.
Our July 21, 2026 roster check found California State University, East Bay in CCNE accreditation evidence for baccalaureate nursing education. Accreditation supports inclusion here. It does not identify the student's pathway, course objectives, field setting, candidate credentials, location authorization, or sourcing responsibility.
The student's current program materials should answer the questions the accreditation listing cannot. Gather the catalog year, course instructions, degree audit, objectives, approved locations, mentor or preceptor criteria, site forms, affiliation language, and program contact before defining a search.
For a confirmed prelicensure pathway, the normal starting point is the program's coordinated clinical-placement process. Students should not bypass assigned rotations or contact sites independently unless California State University, East Bay expressly authorizes a student proposal for the current course. The baccalaureate accreditation listing proves no exception to that general practice.
A confirmed RN-to-BSN or other post-licensure course can use an applied community, population, quality, education, leadership, or care-coordination experience. The objective determines the setting and mentor. Accreditation alone does not show that California State University, East Bay offers such a pathway or asks students to propose placements.
Site fit follows the confirmed course objective. Community clinics, public-health services, school or employee health, home health, hospice, nonprofit programs, care coordination, quality, and population-health teams can be considered when allowed. An experienced RN or another relevant professional may fit, but the school must approve the person's role and credentials.
A baccalaureate nursing degree does not carry one universal clinical or field-hour requirement. The student's pathway, course, curriculum version, state, and catalog year can affect what applies. Confirm the current California State University, East Bay handbook and degree audit instead of treating a generic number as a school rule.
Read how BSN practice requirements vary, then verify the active course with California State University, East Bay. Planning should begin only after the program confirms the amount, experience type, placement process, location, candidate role, setting, and forms.
A school location and a field-experience location are separate facts. Although California State University, East Bay is listed in Hayward, California, the student should verify state authorization, course geography, licensure considerations, and affiliation requirements before outreach. The person and organization must also support the confirmed objectives.
For broader setting context, review the BSN field-experience guide for California. It can help identify community and systems setting categories, while the student's current program remains the authority on whether a proposal is allowed and what is eligible.
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.
Once the current requirements and permission to propose are clear, our placement process uses them to identify and screen a possible person or site. We share candidate information for program review rather than presenting a match as approved. A request can begin at the matching form.
