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 Clayton State University review. The accreditation record does not identify pathway, modality, hours, or placement responsibility.

Use this snapshot as an identity and evidence check, not as a handbook. The accreditor record supports a baccalaureate nursing degree at Clayton State University; it cannot answer which pathways are active, how courses are delivered, whether field work applies, or who coordinates placement.
As of the July 21, 2026 review, CCNE records supported an accredited baccalaureate nursing degree at Clayton State University. That is useful but limited evidence. It cannot be used to infer prelicensure, RN-to-BSN, modality, clinical hours, placement assistance, or approval criteria.
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.
If the student's confirmed pathway leads to initial RN licensure, the program generally coordinates clinical experiences. Begin with Clayton State 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.
When the student's current pathway is confirmed as post-licensure and the course authorizes a proposed experience, the search may center on community or systems work. Public health, education, leadership, quality, and care coordination are examples. The program must establish whether any applies at Clayton State University.
Possible community and systems settings include clinics, public-health programs, schools, employee health, home health, hospice, nonprofits, quality teams, care coordination, and population-health services. The proposed person may be an experienced RN or another qualified professional. Current course rules, not this list, determine what is eligible.
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 Clayton State University's requirement. Confirm the current handbook, degree audit, course instructions, and placement office.
A broad explanation is available in the BSN clinical hours guide, but the student's course documents control. Confirm pathway, experience type, placement ownership, setting, person, state, and forms before outreach.
The accreditation directory locates Clayton State University in Morrow, Georgia, but a campus address does not establish where a student may complete an experience. Confirm state authorization and approved geography first. A proposed site must still fit the course, support the required work, provide an eligible person, and participate in program review.
For broader setting context, review the BSN field-experience guide for Georgia. 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.
An approval-ready file states who the proposed person is, what role that person would perform, where the work would occur, which course objectives the setting supports, and when supervision is available. It also includes the credentials and forms requested. Clayton State University may separately require agreements, compliance checks, or other review steps.
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.
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.
BSNPreceptor is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Clayton State 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. Clayton State 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 Clayton State 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.
