The record answers one narrow question: why College of Staten Island - CUNY belongs in this baccalaureate directory. Pathway, modality, clinical design, field-experience hours, placement ownership, and candidate qualifications require current official program materials.

Confirm the current College of Staten Island - CUNY BSN requirements

As of the July 21, 2026 review, ACEN records supported an accredited baccalaureate nursing degree at College of Staten Island - CUNY. That is useful but limited evidence. It cannot be used to infer prelicensure, RN-to-BSN, modality, clinical hours, placement assistance, or approval criteria.

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.

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 College of Staten Island - CUNY allows student proposals, so the student should confirm the current placement process before contacting any professional or organization.

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 College of Staten Island - CUNY's offerings.

Match the person and setting to the applied work the course actually requires. An experienced RN may fit many community or systems experiences, while another qualified professional may fit when the program permits. Clinics, public programs, schools, employee health, home services, nonprofits, quality, and coordination teams remain conditional examples.

Confirm BSN hours instead of assuming a total

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 College of Staten Island - CUNY's current documents and placement guidance to confirm both the amount and purpose of the experience.

Read how BSN practice requirements vary, then verify the active course with College of Staten Island - CUNY. Planning should begin only after the program confirms the amount, experience type, placement process, location, candidate role, setting, and forms.

Plan an approval-ready proposal in New York

Use Staten Island, New York as directory context only. A student's actual planning area should come from current College of Staten Island - CUNY guidance about authorized states, course location, site eligibility, and affiliation. Even inside an approved area, a willing person or organization is not automatically eligible.

For broader setting context, review the BSN field-experience guide for New York. 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.

Before submission, organize the candidate's professional role, active credentials, relevant experience, site, availability, relationship to the student, and fit with each course objective. Attach current school forms rather than a generic template. The program may still need contracts, compliance materials, authorization checks, or other approvals.

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.
