Confirm the current Metropolitan State Univ. of BSN requirements

As of the July 21, 2026 review, CCNE records supported an accredited baccalaureate nursing degree at Metropolitan State University of Denver. That is useful but limited evidence. It cannot be used to infer prelicensure, RN-to-BSN, modality, clinical hours, placement assistance, or approval criteria.

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.

Separate program-coordinated and student-proposed experiences

Traditional and accelerated prelicensure clinical placements are generally coordinated through the nursing program. If that is the student's pathway, use Metropolitan State University of Denver's clinical office rather than assuming an outside search is needed. Only written current permission to propose a person or site creates a role for independent sourcing.

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 Metropolitan State University of Denver.

Site fit follows the confirmed course objective. Community clinics, public-health services, school or employee health, home health, hospice, nonprofit programs, care coordination, quality, and population-health teams can be considered when allowed. An experienced RN or another relevant professional may fit, but the school must approve the person's role and credentials.

Confirm BSN hours instead of assuming a total

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 Metropolitan State University of Denver's requirement. Confirm the current handbook, degree audit, course instructions, and placement office.

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.

Plan an approval-ready proposal in Colorado

Use Denver, Colorado as directory context only. A student's actual planning area should come from current Metropolitan State University of Denver guidance about authorized states, course location, site eligibility, and affiliation. Even inside an approved area, a willing person or organization is not automatically eligible.

The Colorado 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.

Before submission, organize the candidate's professional role, active credentials, relevant experience, site, availability, relationship to the student, and fit with each course objective. Attach current school forms rather than a generic template. The program may still need contracts, compliance materials, authorization checks, or other approvals.

Use a current-course readiness checklist

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.
