When a student's current baccalaureate nursing course explicitly permits or requires the student to propose a community field-experience site, preceptor, or mentor, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio students may request independent candidate sourcing. Program review stays final, and directory inclusion proves no particular pathway or field requirement.
Last updated July 2026
Accreditation is the basis for listing University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, but accreditation is not a course instruction. A student still needs the current catalog, degree audit, handbook, and placement materials to verify the pathway, field requirement, hours, location, and approval process.
As of the July 21, 2026 review, CCNE records supported an accredited baccalaureate nursing degree at University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. 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 Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio'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 Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio confirms the pathway, course, student proposal process, and current approval criteria.
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.
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 Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio's requirement. Confirm the current handbook, degree audit, course instructions, and placement office.
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.
Use San Antonio, Texas as directory context only. A student's actual planning area should come from current University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio guidance about authorized states, course location, site eligibility, and affiliation. Even inside an approved area, a willing person or organization is not automatically eligible.
Read the BSN preceptor and field-experience guide for Texas for geographic context. Its examples are general and do not turn a person or site into an approved University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio 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 Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio alone decides whether the person and organization meet current rules and whether all institutional steps are complete.
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.
The BSN placement workflow separates requirement review, permission confirmation, candidate sourcing, documentation, and school approval. After the current course permits a proposal, request a match to start an independent search.
BSNPreceptor is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. 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.
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 Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio makes every approval decision.

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.
