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 Fairmont State University review. The accreditation record does not identify pathway, modality, hours, or placement responsibility.
Last updated July 2026
The compact record deliberately separates an accreditation fact from placement assumptions. Fairmont State University is included because of its baccalaureate nursing accreditation evidence, not because the record proves prelicensure, RN-to-BSN, modality, hours, or student sourcing.
As of the July 21, 2026 review, CCNE records supported an accredited baccalaureate nursing degree at Fairmont 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.
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.
Prelicensure education typically relies on program-coordinated clinical rotations, affiliation agreements, faculty oversight, and approved sites. A student at Fairmont 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.
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 Fairmont State University confirms the pathway, course, student proposal process, and current approval criteria.
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 Fairmont 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 Fairmont State University in Fairmont, West Virginia, 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 West Virginia. 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.
Confirm these items before outreach: the exact baccalaureate pathway and course; whether the program coordinates placement or permits a student proposal; the approved requirement and dates; eligible state and setting; candidate credentials; course objectives; conflicts; affiliation and compliance process; school and site forms; and submission deadline.
Our independent sourcing process starts with the verified requirement packet and explicit student-proposal permission. We look for a candidate whose role and setting appear aligned, document the facts, and submit them to the program's process. Use the request form when those instructions are ready.
BSNPreceptor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Fairmont 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. Fairmont 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 Fairmont 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.
