When a student's current baccalaureate nursing course explicitly permits or requires the student to propose a community field-experience site, preceptor, or mentor, Saint Ambrose University students may request independent candidate sourcing. Program review stays final, and directory inclusion proves no particular pathway or field requirement.

This evidence snapshot should not be stretched into a school-policy claim. It confirms a nationally accredited baccalaureate nursing degree at Saint Ambrose University on the verification date, while all placement and curriculum questions remain for the current program.
Saint Ambrose University appears here because CCNE accreditation evidence supported its baccalaureate nursing degree on July 21, 2026. That source is not evidence that every student needs an outside site or that the school offers any named pathway. It also does not establish hours or placement policy.
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.
Traditional and accelerated prelicensure clinical placements are generally coordinated through the nursing program. If that is the student's pathway, use Saint Ambrose University'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.
Post-licensure field work can differ sharply from prelicensure rotations. If the program verifies an RN-to-BSN or similar course and permits the student to propose a site, the experience may involve community, population, education, quality, leadership, or care-coordination objectives. No such offering is inferred here.
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.
No fixed BSN clinical or field-experience total can be assigned to Saint Ambrose University from accreditation evidence. Required hours vary by program, pathway, course, state, and catalog year. The current catalog, handbook, degree audit, course materials, and placement office should resolve the requirement before a proposal is scoped.
The BSN clinical hours guide explains why pathway and state matter without assigning an unsupported total to this institution. Once the program confirms the course requirement and placement ownership, planning can focus on the setting, person, objectives, location, and documents that actually need review.
The accreditation directory locates Saint Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa, 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.
The statewide BSN guide for Iowa can support local planning. Apply the exact pathway, course, geography, role, and site criteria confirmed by the program before treating any setting as a viable proposal.
Treat candidate sourcing and school approval as separate stages. We can organize role, credentials, site information, dates, objectives, availability, and requested documents for review. Saint Ambrose University alone decides whether the person and organization meet current rules and whether all institutional steps are complete.
Before a candidate is contacted, verify the pathway, course, applied purpose, required hours, term dates, location authorization, eligible setting, candidate role, credentials, affiliation process, compliance checklist, forms, and school deadline. Confirm explicitly that the student may propose a person or site.
The BSN placement workflow separates requirement review, permission confirmation, candidate sourcing, documentation, and school approval. After the current course permits a proposal, request a match to start an independent search.
BSNPreceptor is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Saint Ambrose 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. Saint Ambrose 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 Saint Ambrose 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.
