When a student's current baccalaureate nursing course explicitly permits or requires the student to propose a community field-experience site, preceptor, or mentor, independent sourcing support is available to Nightingale College students. The school makes every approval decision, while accreditation confirms only a baccalaureate nursing degree.

This snapshot identifies the institution and the accreditation evidence used for directory inclusion. It does not say that Nightingale College 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 directory basis is CCNE evidence, verified July 21, 2026, for baccalaureate nursing education at Nightingale College. Treat curriculum pathway, field work, hours, affiliation rules, placement responsibility, and candidate eligibility as separate facts that require current school sources.
Start with the documents controlling the student's actual term. Confirm pathway, course purpose, dates, approved geography, setting type, candidate credentials, affiliation requirements, compliance items, and submission forms. Older catalogs or another school's process are not reliable substitutes.
If the student's confirmed pathway leads to initial RN licensure, the program generally coordinates clinical experiences. Begin with Nightingale College'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.
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 Nightingale College.
A field-experience proposal needs more than a willing contact. The person's expertise and the organization's work must support the approved objectives. Public health, community care, school health, occupational health, home health, hospice, nonprofit service, quality, coordination, and population health are examples subject to program review.
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 Nightingale College identify the controlling handbook, current degree audit, and course instructions before planning any experience.
Our BSN hours resource shows why prelicensure and post-licensure experiences should not share one assumed total or placement model. The current program must state what this student needs and whether an outside candidate may be proposed.
The accreditation directory locates Nightingale College in Salt Lake City, Utah, 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.
For broader setting context, review the BSN field-experience guide for Utah. It can help identify community and systems setting categories, while the student's current program remains the authority on whether a proposal is allowed and what is eligible.
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 Nightingale College 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.
Our independent sourcing process starts with the verified requirement packet and explicit student-proposal permission. We look for a candidate whose role and setting appear aligned, document the facts, and submit them to the program's process. Use the request form when those instructions are ready.
Our role is limited to independent candidate sourcing and documentation when the program permits it. BSNPreceptor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Nightingale College, 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. Nightingale College 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 Nightingale College. 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.
