When a student's current baccalaureate nursing course explicitly permits or requires the student to propose a community field-experience site, preceptor, or mentor, we support Cleveland State University students with candidate sourcing and documentation. Accreditation establishes the degree, not the course design or placement process.

This snapshot identifies the institution and the accreditation evidence used for directory inclusion. It does not say that Cleveland State University offers prelicensure, accelerated, RN-to-BSN, online, or another pathway. It also does not establish a field experience, hours, student sourcing, or site rules.
Cleveland State 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.
A useful request begins with a current requirement packet. Confirm the pathway, course objective, placement ownership, eligible setting, location, candidate qualifications, compliance steps, affiliation process, and approval deadline. If the program has not authorized a student proposal, outside sourcing should not begin.
Prelicensure education typically relies on program-coordinated clinical rotations, affiliation agreements, faculty oversight, and approved sites. A student at Cleveland State 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.
If the current program confirms a post-licensure or RN-to-BSN pathway and a student-proposed field experience, the work may focus on community health, population health, education, leadership, quality, care coordination, or another applied objective. This conditional example does not claim that Cleveland State University offers that pathway or requires outside placement.
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.
Do not estimate a student's requirement from the BSN label. There is no universal clinical or field-experience total, and required hours vary across states, programs, pathways, courses, and catalog years. Use Cleveland State University's current documents and placement guidance to confirm both the amount and purpose of the experience.
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.
The directory records Cleveland, Ohio as the institution location. It does not determine the student's eligible placement area or authorize a site. Ask Cleveland State University to confirm state and setting boundaries, then evaluate a candidate for relevant work, credentials, availability, paperwork, and site participation.
Use the Ohio BSN field-experience overview to think through local setting categories and geography. It does not establish authorization or approval rules for Cleveland State University; 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 Cleveland State University and the proposed organization.
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.
We source against confirmed requirements only when the program permits a student proposal, then document a possible match for school review. The steps are described on how it works. Use the request form when the current instructions are available.
BSNPreceptor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Cleveland State University and does not speak for its nursing program. Candidate sourcing is not school approval. We cannot guarantee availability, placement, affiliation completion, acceptance, course progression, or any other result.
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. Cleveland 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 Cleveland 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.
