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 Framingham State University review. The accreditation record does not identify pathway, modality, hours, or placement responsibility.
Last updated July 2026
The record answers one narrow question: why Framingham State University belongs in this baccalaureate directory. Pathway, modality, clinical design, field-experience hours, placement ownership, and candidate qualifications require current official program materials.
As of the July 21, 2026 review, NLN CNEA records supported an accredited baccalaureate nursing degree at Framingham 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.
Traditional and accelerated prelicensure clinical placements are generally coordinated by the nursing program. A prelicensure student should use Framingham State University's current placement office and assigned process. Outside help is appropriate only if current written instructions explicitly permit the student to propose a site or preceptor. Accreditation does not tell us whether that exception exists.
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 Framingham State University offers such a pathway or asks students to propose placements.
A possible setting might be a public-health program, community clinic, school-health service, occupational-health team, home-health or hospice organization, nonprofit, care-coordination unit, quality team, or population-health service. A possible mentor might be an experienced registered nurse or another qualified professional whose role matches the course. The program decides eligibility.
Baccalaureate nursing practice requirements cannot be reduced to one reliable number. Hours vary with the state, program, pathway, course, and catalog year. Ask Framingham State University to confirm the student's current requirement in writing, then use that answer rather than an online comparison or a figure from another school.
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.
Use Framingham, Massachusetts as directory context only. A student's actual planning area should come from current Framingham State University guidance about authorized states, course location, site eligibility, and affiliation. Even inside an approved area, a willing person or organization is not automatically eligible.
Read the BSN preceptor and field-experience guide for Massachusetts for geographic context. Its examples are general and do not turn a person or site into an approved Framingham State University experience.
Treat candidate sourcing and school approval as separate stages. We can organize role, credentials, site information, dates, objectives, availability, and requested documents for review. Framingham State University alone decides whether the person and organization meet current rules and whether all institutional steps are complete.
A complete planning brief names the student's actual pathway and course and records the approved experience, requirement, dates, location, setting, person, credentials, objectives, proposal permission, forms, conflicts, affiliation steps, compliance items, and submission sequence.
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.
This is independent support, not a service operated, approved, or endorsed by Framingham State University. We have no authority to accept a person or site and cannot promise that a suitable candidate will be available or that a proposal will pass program and site review.
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. Framingham 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 Framingham 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.
