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 Radford University prepare an approval-ready proposal. The program remains the authority and no school policy is inferred from accreditation.

This evidence snapshot should not be stretched into a school-policy claim. It confirms a nationally accredited baccalaureate nursing degree at Radford University on the verification date, while all placement and curriculum questions remain for the current program.
Our July 21, 2026 roster check found Radford University in CCNE accreditation evidence for baccalaureate nursing education. Accreditation supports inclusion here. It does not identify the student's pathway, course objectives, field setting, candidate credentials, location authorization, or sourcing responsibility.
A useful request begins with a current requirement packet. Confirm the pathway, course objective, placement ownership, eligible setting, location, candidate qualifications, compliance steps, affiliation process, and approval deadline. If the program has not authorized a student proposal, outside sourcing should not begin.
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 Radford University expressly authorizes a student proposal for the current course. The baccalaureate accreditation listing proves no exception to that general practice.
A confirmed RN-to-BSN or other post-licensure course can use an applied community, population, quality, education, leadership, or care-coordination experience. The objective determines the setting and mentor. Accreditation alone does not show that Radford University offers such a pathway or asks students to propose placements.
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.
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 Radford University 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 Radford University in Radford, Virginia, 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.
Read the BSN preceptor and field-experience guide for Virginia for geographic context. Its examples are general and do not turn a person or site into an approved Radford University experience.
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.
A practical readiness checklist includes the active catalog year, degree audit, course number, pathway, objective, confirmed requirement, dates, approved geography, setting category, candidate qualifications, placement ownership, affiliation needs, compliance items, required forms, and review deadline. Mark every unresolved item for program confirmation.
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.
BSNPreceptor works independently and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Radford University. School names are used descriptively. A sourcing request creates no guarantee of a candidate, placement, approval, graduation, licensure, or another outcome.
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. Radford 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 Radford 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.
