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 University of Saint Francis students identify and document a candidate for program review. University of Saint Francis controls approval, and accreditation alone does not establish the pathway, hours, or placement model.
Last updated July 2026
The record answers one narrow question: why University of Saint Francis belongs in this baccalaureate directory. Pathway, modality, clinical design, field-experience hours, placement ownership, and candidate qualifications require current official program materials.
As of the July 21, 2026 review, CCNE records supported an accredited baccalaureate nursing degree at University of Saint Francis. That is useful but limited evidence. It cannot be used to infer prelicensure, RN-to-BSN, modality, clinical hours, placement assistance, or approval criteria.
Before outreach, identify the student's exact pathway and course, then collect the current catalog page, handbook section, degree audit, course objectives, placement forms, and contact instructions. Ask the program whether it coordinates the experience or explicitly permits the student to propose a person or site.
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 University of Saint Francis expressly authorizes a student proposal for the current course. The baccalaureate accreditation listing proves no exception to that general practice.
A confirmed RN-to-BSN or other post-licensure course can use an applied community, population, quality, education, leadership, or care-coordination experience. The objective determines the setting and mentor. Accreditation alone does not show that University of Saint Francis offers such a pathway or asks students to propose placements.
Match the person and setting to the applied work the course actually requires. An experienced RN may fit many community or systems experiences, while another qualified professional may fit when the program permits. Clinics, public programs, schools, employee health, home services, nonprofits, quality, and coordination teams remain conditional examples.
There is no universal BSN clinical or field-experience total across schools and pathways. Required hours vary by state, program, pathway, course, and catalog year. Do not use a number from another institution, an older handbook, or a different pathway as University of Saint Francis's requirement. Confirm the current handbook, degree audit, course instructions, and placement office.
The BSN clinical hours guide explains why pathway and state matter without assigning an unsupported total to this institution. Once the program confirms the course requirement and placement ownership, planning can focus on the setting, person, objectives, location, and documents that actually need review.
Use Fort Wayne, Indiana as directory context only. A student's actual planning area should come from current University of Saint Francis guidance about authorized states, course location, site eligibility, and affiliation. Even inside an approved area, a willing person or organization is not automatically eligible.
Our Indiana 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.
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 Saint Francis and the proposed organization.
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.
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.
BSNPreceptor works independently and is not affiliated with or endorsed by University of Saint Francis. 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 Saint Francis 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 Saint Francis. 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.
