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 help La Roche University students identify and document a candidate for program review. La Roche University controls approval, and accreditation alone does not establish the pathway, hours, or placement model.
Last updated July 2026
The record answers one narrow question: why La Roche 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, ACEN records supported an accredited baccalaureate nursing degree at La Roche 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.
If the student's confirmed pathway leads to initial RN licensure, the program generally coordinates clinical experiences. Begin with La Roche University's assigned-placement process. An external search is suitable only when the current course documents explicitly allow the student to propose a site or preceptor for program review.
If the current program confirms a post-licensure or RN-to-BSN pathway and a student-proposed field experience, the work may focus on community health, population health, education, leadership, quality, care coordination, or another applied objective. This conditional example does not claim that La Roche University offers that pathway or requires outside placement.
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.
The safe answer to the hours question is program confirmation. Required BSN hours vary by state, pathway, course, school, and catalog year, and the accreditation record provides no total. Have La Roche University identify the controlling handbook, current degree audit, and course instructions before planning any experience.
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 directory records Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as the institution location. It does not determine the student's eligible placement area or authorize a site. Ask La Roche 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 Pennsylvania for geographic context. Its examples are general and do not turn a person or site into an approved La Roche University experience.
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 La Roche 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.
Independent support is most useful after the student turns the current handbook and course instructions into a precise request and verifies permission to propose. See how sourcing works, then use the request form with those details.
BSNPreceptor is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by La Roche University. We do not act for the institution, decide eligibility, or guarantee that a person or site will be found or approved. Program-coordinated students should use the school's placement process.
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. La Roche 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 La Roche 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.
