When a student's current baccalaureate nursing course explicitly permits or requires the student to propose a community field-experience site, preceptor, or mentor, Farmingdale State College students may request independent candidate sourcing. Program review stays final, and directory inclusion proves no particular pathway or field requirement.

Accreditation is the basis for listing Farmingdale State College, but accreditation is not a course instruction. A student still needs the current catalog, degree audit, handbook, and placement materials to verify the pathway, field requirement, hours, location, and approval process.
The CCNE source included Farmingdale State College in its accredited baccalaureate nursing records when this roster was checked on July 21, 2026. That establishes degree-level accreditation only. It does not establish a pathway, delivery format, field-experience requirement, hours, deadline, mentor rule, or placement model.
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.
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 Farmingdale State College allows student proposals, so the student should confirm the current placement process before contacting any professional or organization.
A confirmed RN-to-BSN or other post-licensure course can use an applied community, population, quality, education, leadership, or care-coordination experience. The objective determines the setting and mentor. Accreditation alone does not show that Farmingdale State College offers such a pathway or asks students to propose placements.
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.
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 Farmingdale State College's current documents and placement guidance to confirm both the amount and purpose of the experience.
Use the BSN hours overview for a general framework, not for a school-specific figure. A useful brief records the confirmed requirement, its learning purpose, the acceptable setting, the supervision method, and whether the program coordinates placement or permits a proposal.
The accreditation directory locates Farmingdale State College in Farmingdale, New York, 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.
Our New York BSN guide gives a state-level view of possible community and systems settings. The current program still decides whether the student's pathway, location, candidate, site, and documents are acceptable.
Candidate willingness is only the beginning. An approval packet should explain the role, credentials, setting, relevant work, supervision, availability, course alignment, and paperwork status. The program can then apply its current site, affiliation, compliance, conflict, and candidate rules.
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.
The BSN placement workflow separates requirement review, permission confirmation, candidate sourcing, documentation, and school approval. After the current course permits a proposal, request a match to start an independent search.

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. Farmingdale State College 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.

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.
