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 Virginia students may request independent candidate sourcing. Program review stays final, and directory inclusion proves no particular pathway or field requirement.

Use this snapshot as an identity and evidence check, not as a handbook. The accreditor record supports a baccalaureate nursing degree at University of Virginia; it cannot answer which pathways are active, how courses are delivered, whether field work applies, or who coordinates placement.
The accreditation fact for University of Virginia comes from CCNE and was verified on July 21, 2026. Its scope is degree accreditation. The source does not prove a particular pathway, course format, field requirement, student proposal process, review timeline, or candidate standard.
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.
Traditional and accelerated prelicensure clinical placements are generally coordinated through the nursing program. If that is the student's pathway, use University of Virginia'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.
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 Virginia 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.
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 Virginia handbook and degree audit instead of treating a generic number as a school rule.
The BSN hours guide can help a student ask better questions about pathway and course structure. It cannot calculate a University of Virginia requirement or establish that a student proposal is allowed. Those answers belong to the current program.
Use Charlottesville, Virginia as directory context only. A student's actual planning area should come from current University of Virginia guidance about authorized states, course location, site eligibility, and affiliation. Even inside an approved area, a willing person or organization is not automatically eligible.
Use the Virginia BSN field-experience overview to think through local setting categories and geography. It does not establish authorization or approval rules for University of Virginia; only the current program can do that.
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 Virginia alone decides whether the person and organization meet current rules and whether all institutional steps are complete.
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.
Once the current requirements and permission to propose are clear, our placement process uses them to identify and screen a possible person or site. We share candidate information for program review rather than presenting a match as approved. A request can begin at the matching form.
Our role is limited to independent candidate sourcing and documentation when the program permits it. BSNPreceptor is not affiliated with or endorsed by University of Virginia, cannot waive any school or site requirement, and does not guarantee placement or approval.
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 Virginia 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 Virginia. 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.
