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 help Sam Houston State University students identify and document a candidate for program review. Sam Houston State University controls approval, and accreditation alone does not establish the pathway, hours, or placement model.

Accreditation is the basis for listing Sam Houston State University, but accreditation is not a course instruction. A student still needs the current catalog, degree audit, handbook, and placement materials to verify the pathway, field requirement, hours, location, and approval process.
As of the July 21, 2026 review, CCNE records supported an accredited baccalaureate nursing degree at Sam Houston State University. That is useful but limited evidence. It cannot be used to infer prelicensure, RN-to-BSN, modality, clinical hours, placement assistance, or approval criteria.
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.
If the student's confirmed pathway leads to initial RN licensure, the program generally coordinates clinical experiences. Begin with Sam Houston State University'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.
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.
A baccalaureate nursing degree does not carry one universal clinical or field-hour requirement. The student's pathway, course, curriculum version, state, and catalog year can affect what applies. Confirm the current Sam Houston State University handbook and degree audit instead of treating a generic number as a school rule.
Use the BSN hours overview for a general framework, not for a school-specific figure. A useful brief records the confirmed requirement, its learning purpose, the acceptable setting, the supervision method, and whether the program coordinates placement or permits a proposal.
The directory records The Woodlands, Texas as the institution location. It does not determine the student's eligible placement area or authorize a site. Ask Sam Houston State University to confirm state and setting boundaries, then evaluate a candidate for relevant work, credentials, availability, paperwork, and site participation.
Our Texas BSN guide gives a state-level view of possible community and systems settings. The current program still decides whether the student's pathway, location, candidate, site, and documents are acceptable.
An approval-ready file states who the proposed person is, what role that person would perform, where the work would occur, which course objectives the setting supports, and when supervision is available. It also includes the credentials and forms requested. Sam Houston State University may separately require agreements, compliance checks, or other review steps.
The student should be able to show the current course instructions, degree audit, confirmed requirement, objectives, approved state, acceptable setting, candidate criteria, placement process, affiliation information, compliance steps, forms, and deadline. Recheck anything remembered from an older term.
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 works independently and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Sam Houston State 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. Sam Houston State 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 Sam Houston State 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.
