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 Scranton prepare an approval-ready proposal. The program remains the authority and no school policy is inferred from accreditation.

The compact record deliberately separates an accreditation fact from placement assumptions. University of Scranton is included because of its baccalaureate nursing accreditation evidence, not because the record proves prelicensure, RN-to-BSN, modality, hours, or student sourcing.
University of Scranton appears here because CCNE accreditation evidence supported its baccalaureate nursing degree on July 21, 2026. That source is not evidence that every student needs an outside site or that the school offers any named pathway. It also does not establish hours or placement policy.
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.
Program coordination is generally the rule for prelicensure clinical experiences. That protects course sequencing, site contracts, supervision, and regulatory oversight. Nothing in the accreditation record shows that University of Scranton allows student proposals, so the student should confirm the current placement process before contacting any professional or organization.
If the current program confirms a post-licensure or RN-to-BSN pathway and a student-proposed field experience, the work may focus on community health, population health, education, leadership, quality, care coordination, or another applied objective. This conditional example does not claim that University of Scranton offers that pathway or requires outside placement.
Site fit follows the confirmed course objective. Community clinics, public-health services, school or employee health, home health, hospice, nonprofit programs, care coordination, quality, and population-health teams can be considered when allowed. An experienced RN or another relevant professional may fit, but the school must approve the person's role and credentials.
No fixed BSN clinical or field-experience total can be assigned to University of Scranton from accreditation evidence. Required hours vary by program, pathway, course, state, and catalog year. The current catalog, handbook, degree audit, course materials, and placement office should resolve the requirement before a proposal is scoped.
Read how BSN practice requirements vary, then verify the active course with University of Scranton. Planning should begin only after the program confirms the amount, experience type, placement process, location, candidate role, setting, and forms.
A school location and a field-experience location are separate facts. Although University of Scranton is listed in Scranton, Pennsylvania, 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.
Use the Pennsylvania BSN field-experience overview to think through local setting categories and geography. It does not establish authorization or approval rules for University of Scranton; only the current program can do that.
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. University of Scranton may separately require agreements, compliance checks, or other review steps.
The student should be able to show the current course instructions, degree audit, confirmed requirement, objectives, approved state, acceptable setting, candidate criteria, placement process, affiliation information, compliance steps, forms, and deadline. Recheck anything remembered from an older term.
We source against confirmed requirements only when the program permits a student proposal, then document a possible match for school review. The steps are described on how it works. Use the request form when the current instructions are available.
Nothing on this page is issued by University of Scranton. BSNPreceptor is an independent service, is not affiliated with or endorsed by the institution, and cannot approve the student's person, site, or paperwork. We also cannot guarantee that a match will be found or accepted.
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 Scranton 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 Scranton. 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.
