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 help College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University students identify and document a candidate for program review. College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University controls approval, and accreditation alone does not establish the pathway, hours, or placement model.

Use this snapshot as an identity and evidence check, not as a handbook. The accreditor record supports a baccalaureate nursing degree at College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's 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 College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's 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.
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.
Traditional and accelerated prelicensure clinical placements are generally coordinated through the nursing program. If that is the student's pathway, use College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University's clinical office rather than assuming an outside search is needed. Only written current permission to propose a person or site creates a role for independent sourcing.
An RN-to-BSN or other post-licensure field experience may apply baccalaureate competencies in a community, population, education, leadership, quality, or coordination setting. Use that framework only after College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University confirms the pathway, course, student proposal process, and current approval criteria.
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.
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 College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University handbook and degree audit instead of treating a generic number as a school rule.
The BSN clinical hours guide explains why pathway and state matter without assigning an unsupported total to this institution. Once the program confirms the course requirement and placement ownership, planning can focus on the setting, person, objectives, location, and documents that actually need review.
The directory records St. Joseph, Minnesota as the institution location. It does not determine the student's eligible placement area or authorize a site. Ask College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University to confirm state and setting boundaries, then evaluate a candidate for relevant work, credentials, availability, paperwork, and site participation.
Use the Minnesota BSN field-experience overview to think through local setting categories and geography. It does not establish authorization or approval rules for College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's 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 College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University and the proposed organization.
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 not affiliated with or endorsed by College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's 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. College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's 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 College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's 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.
