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 Saint Anthony College of Nursing 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 Saint Anthony College of Nursing offers prelicensure, accelerated, RN-to-BSN, online, or another pathway. It also does not establish a field experience, hours, student sourcing, or site rules.
As of the July 21, 2026 review, CCNE records supported an accredited baccalaureate nursing degree at Saint Anthony College of Nursing. That is useful but limited evidence. It cannot be used to infer prelicensure, RN-to-BSN, modality, clinical hours, placement assistance, or approval criteria.
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.
Prelicensure education typically relies on program-coordinated clinical rotations, affiliation agreements, faculty oversight, and approved sites. A student at Saint Anthony College of Nursing should follow the current placement instructions first. Independent sourcing should begin only when the program explicitly permits it for that student's course and location.
An RN-to-BSN or other post-licensure field experience may apply baccalaureate competencies in a community, population, education, leadership, quality, or coordination setting. Use that framework only after Saint Anthony College of Nursing confirms the pathway, course, student proposal process, and current approval criteria.
A possible setting might be a public-health program, community clinic, school-health service, occupational-health team, home-health or hospice organization, nonprofit, care-coordination unit, quality team, or population-health service. A possible mentor might be an experienced registered nurse or another qualified professional whose role matches the course. The program decides eligibility.
Baccalaureate nursing practice requirements cannot be reduced to one reliable number. Hours vary with the state, program, pathway, course, and catalog year. Ask Saint Anthony College of Nursing to confirm the student's current requirement in writing, then use that answer rather than an online comparison or a figure from another school.
Read how BSN practice requirements vary, then verify the active course with Saint Anthony College of Nursing. Planning should begin only after the program confirms the amount, experience type, placement process, location, candidate role, setting, and forms.
Start the geographic plan with the student's authorized location, not an assumption drawn from Saint Anthony College of Nursing's Rockford address. The program may apply state, site, licensure, affiliation, or delivery rules that accreditation does not show. Every proposed setting still needs program approval.
The Illinois 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.
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.
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.

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.
