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

This evidence snapshot should not be stretched into a school-policy claim. It confirms a nationally accredited baccalaureate nursing degree at Centenary University on the verification date, while all placement and curriculum questions remain for the current program.
Centenary University appears here because CCNE accreditation evidence supported its baccalaureate nursing degree on July 21, 2026. That source is not evidence that every student needs an outside site or that the school offers any named pathway. It also does not establish hours or placement policy.
Start with the documents controlling the student's actual term. Confirm pathway, course purpose, dates, approved geography, setting type, candidate credentials, affiliation requirements, compliance items, and submission forms. Older catalogs or another school's process are not reliable substitutes.
Prelicensure education typically relies on program-coordinated clinical rotations, affiliation agreements, faculty oversight, and approved sites. A student at Centenary University should follow the current placement instructions first. Independent sourcing should begin only when the program explicitly permits it for that student's course and location.
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 Centenary University's offerings.
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.
Baccalaureate nursing practice requirements cannot be reduced to one reliable number. Hours vary with the state, program, pathway, course, and catalog year. Ask Centenary 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.
Our BSN hours resource shows why prelicensure and post-licensure experiences should not share one assumed total or placement model. The current program must state what this student needs and whether an outside candidate may be proposed.
Hackettstown, New Jersey is the directory location for Centenary 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.
The statewide BSN guide for New Jersey can support local planning. Apply the exact pathway, course, geography, role, and site criteria confirmed by the program before treating any setting as a viable proposal.
Treat candidate sourcing and school approval as separate stages. We can organize role, credentials, site information, dates, objectives, availability, and requested documents for review. Centenary University alone decides whether the person and organization meet current rules and whether all institutional steps are complete.
The student should be able to show the current course instructions, degree audit, confirmed requirement, objectives, approved state, acceptable setting, candidate criteria, placement process, affiliation information, compliance steps, forms, and deadline. Recheck anything remembered from an older term.
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.
BSNPreceptor is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Centenary University. We do not act for the institution, decide eligibility, or guarantee that a person or site will be found or approved. Program-coordinated students should use the school's placement process.
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. Centenary 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 Centenary 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.
