When a student's current baccalaureate nursing course explicitly permits or requires the student to propose a community field-experience site, preceptor, or mentor, we can help students at Gonzaga University prepare an approval-ready proposal. The program remains the authority and no school policy is inferred from accreditation.

This snapshot identifies the institution and the accreditation evidence used for directory inclusion. It does not say that Gonzaga University offers prelicensure, accelerated, RN-to-BSN, online, or another pathway. It also does not establish a field experience, hours, student sourcing, or site rules.
The CCNE source included Gonzaga University 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.
Before outreach, identify the student's exact pathway and course, then collect the current catalog page, handbook section, degree audit, course objectives, placement forms, and contact instructions. Ask the program whether it coordinates the experience or explicitly permits the student to propose a person or site.
For a confirmed prelicensure pathway, the normal starting point is the program's coordinated clinical-placement process. Students should not bypass assigned rotations or contact sites independently unless Gonzaga University expressly authorizes a student proposal for the current course. The baccalaureate accreditation listing proves no exception to that general practice.
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 Gonzaga 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 Gonzaga 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 directory records Spokane, Washington as the institution location. It does not determine the student's eligible placement area or authorize a site. Ask Gonzaga University to confirm state and setting boundaries, then evaluate a candidate for relevant work, credentials, availability, paperwork, and site participation.
Read the BSN preceptor and field-experience guide for Washington for geographic context. Its examples are general and do not turn a person or site into an approved Gonzaga University experience.
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.
The student should be able to show the current course instructions, degree audit, confirmed requirement, objectives, approved state, acceptable setting, candidate criteria, placement process, affiliation information, compliance steps, forms, and deadline. Recheck anything remembered from an older term.
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 Gonzaga 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. Gonzaga 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 Gonzaga 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.
