Use this snapshot as an identity and evidence check, not as a handbook. The accreditor record supports a baccalaureate nursing degree at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science; it cannot answer which pathways are active, how courses are delivered, whether field work applies, or who coordinates placement.

Confirm the current Charles R. Drew Univ. of BSN requirements

The directory basis is CCNE evidence, verified July 21, 2026, for baccalaureate nursing education at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science. 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.

Separate program-coordinated and student-proposed experiences

Program coordination is generally the rule for prelicensure clinical experiences. That protects course sequencing, site contracts, supervision, and regulatory oversight. Nothing in the accreditation record shows that Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science allows student proposals, so the student should confirm the current placement process before contacting any professional or organization.

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 Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science offers such a pathway or asks students to propose placements.

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.

Confirm BSN hours instead of assuming a total

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 Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science handbook and degree audit instead of treating a generic number as a school rule.

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.

Plan an approval-ready proposal in California

A school location and a field-experience location are separate facts. Although Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science is listed in Los Angeles, 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.

Use the California BSN field-experience overview to think through local setting categories and geography. It does not establish authorization or approval rules for Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science; only the current program can do that.

The program needs a proposal it can evaluate, not just a contact name. Build the file around course fit, candidate qualifications, site capacity, dates, supervision, geography, conflicts, and requested documents. Any affiliation, compliance, authorization, or site condition remains with Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science and the proposed organization.

Use a current-course readiness checklist

Build the request from verified fields: current pathway, course, catalog year, applied objective, requirement, term, geography, site type, candidate role, credentials, placement ownership, affiliation requirements, compliance documents, school forms, and deadline. Do not fill gaps with another school's practice.

Does accreditation show which BSN pathway Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science offers?
