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 can help students at University of Maine at Augusta prepare an approval-ready proposal. The program remains the authority and no school policy is inferred from accreditation.

This evidence snapshot should not be stretched into a school-policy claim. It confirms a nationally accredited baccalaureate nursing degree at University of Maine at Augusta on the verification date, while all placement and curriculum questions remain for the current program.
As of the July 21, 2026 review, ACEN records supported an accredited baccalaureate nursing degree at University of Maine at Augusta. That is useful but limited evidence. It cannot be used to infer prelicensure, RN-to-BSN, modality, clinical hours, placement assistance, or approval criteria.
Start with the documents controlling the student's actual term. Confirm pathway, course purpose, dates, approved geography, setting type, candidate credentials, affiliation requirements, compliance items, and submission forms. Older catalogs or another school's process are not reliable substitutes.
Traditional and accelerated prelicensure clinical placements are generally coordinated through the nursing program. If that is the student's pathway, use University of Maine at Augusta's clinical office rather than assuming an outside search is needed. Only written current permission to propose a person or site creates a role for independent sourcing.
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 University of Maine at Augusta confirms the pathway, course, student proposal process, and current approval criteria.
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.
Do not estimate a student's requirement from the BSN label. There is no universal clinical or field-experience total, and required hours vary across states, programs, pathways, courses, and catalog years. Use University of Maine at Augusta's current documents and placement guidance to confirm both the amount and purpose of the experience.
The BSN hours guide can help a student ask better questions about pathway and course structure. It cannot calculate a University of Maine at Augusta requirement or establish that a student proposal is allowed. Those answers belong to the current program.
The accreditation directory locates University of Maine at Augusta in Augusta, Maine, 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 Maine for geographic context. Its examples are general and do not turn a person or site into an approved University of Maine at Augusta experience.
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.
Before a candidate is contacted, verify the pathway, course, applied purpose, required hours, term dates, location authorization, eligible setting, candidate role, credentials, affiliation process, compliance checklist, forms, and school deadline. Confirm explicitly that the student may propose a person or site.
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.

We do not act for the institution, decide eligibility, or guarantee that a person or site will be found or approved. Program-coordinated students should use the school's placement process.

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.
