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 support Regent University students with candidate sourcing and documentation. Accreditation establishes the degree, not the course design or placement process.

Use this snapshot as an identity and evidence check, not as a handbook. The accreditor record supports a baccalaureate nursing degree at Regent University; it cannot answer which pathways are active, how courses are delivered, whether field work applies, or who coordinates placement.
The directory basis is CCNE evidence, verified July 21, 2026, for baccalaureate nursing education at Regent University. 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.
Traditional and accelerated prelicensure clinical placements are generally coordinated by the nursing program. A prelicensure student should use Regent University's current placement office and assigned process. Outside help is appropriate only if current written instructions explicitly permit the student to propose a site or preceptor. Accreditation does not tell us whether that exception exists.
For a verified post-licensure course that permits a student proposal, the setting should follow the applied objective rather than mimic a prelicensure hospital rotation. Community, population-health, quality, education, leadership, and coordination work are possible categories, not claims about Regent University's offerings.
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 Regent 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.
Virginia Beach, Virginia is the directory location for Regent University; it is not a promise that a student can place there. The program must confirm permitted states and location restrictions. Geography is only one screen, alongside pathway, course objectives, setting fit, candidate credentials, site capacity, and affiliation terms.
For broader setting context, review the BSN field-experience guide for Virginia. 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.
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.
Build the request from verified fields: current pathway, course, catalog year, applied objective, requirement, term, geography, site type, candidate role, credentials, placement ownership, affiliation requirements, compliance documents, school forms, and deadline. Do not fill gaps with another school's practice.
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.
BSNPreceptor is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Regent 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. Regent 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 Regent 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.
