Confirm the current University of Hawaii at Manoa BSN requirements

Our July 21, 2026 roster check found University of Hawaii at Manoa in CCNE accreditation evidence for baccalaureate nursing education. Accreditation supports inclusion here. It does not identify the student's pathway, course objectives, field setting, candidate credentials, location authorization, or sourcing responsibility.

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.

Separate program-coordinated and student-proposed experiences

If the student's confirmed pathway leads to initial RN licensure, the program generally coordinates clinical experiences. Begin with University of Hawaii at Manoa'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.

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 University of Hawaii at Manoa's offerings.

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.

Confirm BSN hours instead of assuming a total

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 University of Hawaii at Manoa handbook and degree audit instead of treating a generic number as a school rule.

Our BSN hours resource shows why prelicensure and post-licensure experiences should not share one assumed total or placement model. The current program must state what this student needs and whether an outside candidate may be proposed.

Plan an approval-ready proposal in Hawaii

A school location and a field-experience location are separate facts. Although University of Hawaii at Manoa is listed in Honolulu, Hawaii, the student should verify state authorization, course geography, licensure considerations, and affiliation requirements before outreach. The person and organization must also support the confirmed objectives.

Read the BSN preceptor and field-experience guide for Hawaii for geographic context. Its examples are general and do not turn a person or site into an approved University of Hawaii at Manoa experience.

Treat candidate sourcing and school approval as separate stages. We can organize role, credentials, site information, dates, objectives, availability, and requested documents for review. University of Hawaii at Manoa alone decides whether the person and organization meet current rules and whether all institutional steps are complete.

Use a current-course readiness checklist

A practical readiness checklist includes the active catalog year, degree audit, course number, pathway, objective, confirmed requirement, dates, approved geography, setting category, candidate qualifications, placement ownership, affiliation needs, compliance items, required forms, and review deadline. Mark every unresolved item for program confirmation.

Independent BSN sourcing support for University of Hawaii at Manoa students

Independent support is most useful after the student turns the current handbook and course instructions into a precise request and verifies permission to propose. See how sourcing works, then use the request form with those details.

This is independent support, not a service operated, approved, or endorsed by University of Hawaii at Manoa. 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.
