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

Use this snapshot as an identity and evidence check, not as a handbook. The accreditor record supports a baccalaureate nursing degree at Simpson University; it cannot answer which pathways are active, how courses are delivered, whether field work applies, or who coordinates placement.
The CCNE source included Simpson University in its accredited baccalaureate nursing records when this roster was checked on July 21, 2026. That establishes degree-level accreditation only. It does not establish a pathway, delivery format, field-experience requirement, hours, deadline, mentor rule, or placement model.
Do not begin with a generic BSN placement template. Ask the program to verify the pathway, course, required role, learning objectives, eligible setting, geography, credentials, paperwork, and whether a student-proposed candidate is allowed. That keeps outreach within the school's process.
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 Simpson University expressly authorizes a student proposal for the current course. The baccalaureate accreditation listing proves no exception to that general practice.
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 Simpson University confirms the pathway, course, student proposal process, and current approval criteria.
The candidate screen should connect a real course objective to a suitable professional and organization. Depending on current program rules, that could involve community health, public health, school health, occupational health, home health, hospice, nonprofit work, quality, coordination, or population services. A title alone never establishes mentor or preceptor eligibility.
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 Simpson University identify the controlling handbook, current degree audit, and course instructions before planning any experience.
Read how BSN practice requirements vary, then verify the active course with Simpson University. Planning should begin only after the program confirms the amount, experience type, placement process, location, candidate role, setting, and forms.
Redding, California is the directory location for Simpson 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.
The statewide BSN guide for California 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.
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. Simpson University may separately require agreements, compliance checks, or other review steps.
A complete planning brief names the student's actual pathway and course and records the approved experience, requirement, dates, location, setting, person, credentials, objectives, proposal permission, forms, conflicts, affiliation steps, compliance items, and submission sequence.
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.
This is independent support, not a service operated, approved, or endorsed by Simpson University. We have no authority to accept a person or site and cannot promise that a suitable candidate will be available or that a proposal will pass program and site review.
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. Simpson 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 Simpson 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.
