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 Freed-Hardeman 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 Freed-Hardeman University belongs in this baccalaureate directory. Pathway, modality, clinical design, field-experience hours, placement ownership, and candidate qualifications require current official program materials.
Freed-Hardeman University appears here because CCNE accreditation evidence supported its baccalaureate nursing degree on July 21, 2026. That source is not evidence that every student needs an outside site or that the school offers any named pathway. It also does not establish hours or placement policy.
Translate the current handbook and course instructions into a planning brief before outreach. Record the pathway, course, applied objective, dates, setting, location, candidate criteria, site documents, compliance needs, approval process, and explicit permission for any student proposal.
Traditional and accelerated prelicensure clinical placements are generally coordinated by the nursing program. A prelicensure student should use Freed-Hardeman 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.
When the student's current pathway is confirmed as post-licensure and the course authorizes a proposed experience, the search may center on community or systems work. Public health, education, leadership, quality, and care coordination are examples. The program must establish whether any applies at Freed-Hardeman University.
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.
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 Freed-Hardeman University's requirement. Confirm the current handbook, degree audit, course instructions, and placement office.
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 accreditation directory locates Freed-Hardeman University in Henderson, Tennessee, 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.
The Tennessee BSN field-experience guide describes the wider planning landscape. Use it to understand possible settings, not to bypass the program's pathway, authorization, affiliation, credential, or approval requirements.
A complete proposal connects the current course to a specific person and setting. Document credentials, role, experience, site, availability, supervision, and willingness to complete school paperwork. This preparation helps Freed-Hardeman University review the request but cannot replace its affiliation, compliance, authorization, or approval process.
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.
We source against confirmed requirements only when the program permits a student proposal, then document a possible match for school review. The steps are described on how it works. Use the request form when the current instructions are available.
Our role is limited to independent candidate sourcing and documentation when the program permits it. BSNPreceptor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Freed-Hardeman University, cannot waive any school or site requirement, and does not guarantee placement or approval.
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. Freed-Hardeman 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 Freed-Hardeman 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.
