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 University of Indianapolis students. The school makes every approval decision, while accreditation confirms only a baccalaureate nursing degree.

Use this snapshot as an identity and evidence check, not as a handbook. The accreditor record supports a baccalaureate nursing degree at University of Indianapolis; it cannot answer which pathways are active, how courses are delivered, whether field work applies, or who coordinates placement.
The directory basis is CCNE evidence, verified July 21, 2026, for baccalaureate nursing education at University of Indianapolis. Treat curriculum pathway, field work, hours, affiliation rules, placement responsibility, and candidate eligibility as separate facts that require current school sources.
Translate the current handbook and course instructions into a planning brief before outreach. Record the pathway, course, applied objective, dates, setting, location, candidate criteria, site documents, compliance needs, approval process, and explicit permission for any student proposal.
Traditional and accelerated prelicensure clinical placements are generally coordinated by the nursing program. A prelicensure student should use University of Indianapolis's current placement office and assigned process. Outside help is appropriate only if current written instructions explicitly permit the student to propose a site or preceptor. Accreditation does not tell us whether that exception exists.
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 Indianapolis's offerings.
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.
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 Indianapolis 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 accreditation directory locates University of Indianapolis in Indianapolis, Indiana, 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.
Read the BSN preceptor and field-experience guide for Indiana for geographic context. Its examples are general and do not turn a person or site into an approved University of Indianapolis experience.
The program needs a proposal it can evaluate, not just a contact name. Build the file around course fit, candidate qualifications, site capacity, dates, supervision, geography, conflicts, and requested documents. Any affiliation, compliance, authorization, or site condition remains with University of Indianapolis and the proposed organization.
Confirm these items before outreach: the exact baccalaureate pathway and course; whether the program coordinates placement or permits a student proposal; the approved requirement and dates; eligible state and setting; candidate credentials; course objectives; conflicts; affiliation and compliance process; school and site forms; and submission deadline.
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.
BSNPreceptor works independently and is not affiliated with or endorsed by University of Indianapolis. 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. University of Indianapolis 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 University of Indianapolis. 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.
