This directory covers 640 United States institutions with a current accredited master's nursing degree in the July 21, 2026 roster. Accreditation supports inclusion, but it does not establish a concentration, modality, practicum total, placement model, or school policy. Open a school page, then confirm the student's current pathway and course directly with the program.
The roster combines current CCNE, ACEN, and NLN CNEA accreditation evidence for master's nursing degrees. It was verified on July 21, 2026. That evidence answers why an institution appears here. It does not tell us whether the school offers an NP, education, leadership, informatics, public health, or other pathway, and it does not establish hours, modality, state authorization, placement responsibility, mentor criteria, or deadlines.
School pages therefore lead with a conditional answer: support applies when the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site. The student must bring the current program requirements into the search, and the named school makes every approval decision. MSNPreceptor is independent, is not affiliated with any listed institution, and does not guarantee placement or approval.
Use the directory to reach a school-specific planning page, then verify the active catalog, handbook, degree audit, course instructions, field placement forms, and state authorization with the program. Our placement process starts from those confirmed facts rather than importing a rule from another university.
Each institution below appears in a current CCNE, ACEN, or NLN CNEA record for an accredited master's nursing degree. Inclusion does not establish a concentration, modality, practicum total, placement model, or mentor policy. Open a school page for an approval-focused planning guide, then confirm every requirement with the current program.
Suppose a student's current program confirms a direct-care NP course. The search may need a population-aligned, board-certified nurse practitioner or physician and a site that supports supervised patient care. The program may review licensure, certification, active practice, patient mix, supervision, conflicts, state authorization, site paperwork, and course-objective fit. This is a pathway example, not a claim that every listed school offers an NP concentration.
The student should confirm the exact course, population focus, required hours, dates, approved geography, professional credentials, setting, documentation, and affiliation steps before outreach. The MSN clinical hours guide explains why totals differ, while the current handbook and degree audit remain controlling.
A confirmed nurse educator course may call for a mentor in academic teaching, clinical education, simulation, or staff development. A confirmed leadership or administration course may align with a nurse executive, operations leader, quality leader, or another program-approved professional. Neither should be treated as an NP rotation, and accreditation does not show whether an institution offers either pathway.
For either example, the site and mentor must support the student's actual objectives. Confirm the current role criteria, setting, project or applied work, hours, dates, conflicts, affiliation requirements, compliance items, and forms before asking a professional to participate. The MSN pathway guide compares the role logic without assigning an offering to a school.
A confirmed informatics course may need a nurse informaticist or clinical systems professional working in analytics, implementation, workflow, or technology. Public health, community health, clinical nurse leader, care coordination, quality, and other pathways can point to different mentors and organizations. A generic preceptor title cannot establish fit across these experiences.
Start with the course objective and current program rules. Then identify the setting, work product, mentor expertise, geography, hours, dates, access, compliance, and approval documents needed to support that objective. This keeps the proposal tied to the student's actual pathway rather than to a broad MSN label.
There is no universal MSN practicum total. Required hours vary by program, pathway, course, and catalog year, and no accreditation listing can supply the named school's number. Confirm the current catalog, handbook, degree audit, course instructions, and field placement office before building a search around hours.
MSNPreceptor can source and document a possible candidate when those requirements are clear. The program and proposed site retain approval authority, and a request does not guarantee a candidate, placement, paperwork completion, or academic outcome.
It shows that current CCNE, ACEN, or NLN CNEA evidence supported an accredited master's nursing degree at the institution on July 21, 2026. It does not prove a pathway, modality, hours, placement model, mentor rule, deadline, or other school policy.
No. The roster does not establish concentration offerings. Direct-care NP, education, leadership, informatics, public health, and other pathway examples explain how matching can differ, but students must confirm what their current school and course actually offer and require.
There is no universal total. Required hours vary by program, pathway, course, and catalog year. Confirm the current handbook, degree audit, course instructions, and field placement office for the student's exact requirement.
No blanket claim is appropriate. Support applies when the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site and the current program expects the student to propose one. Confirm the school's present process before sourcing.
No. MSNPreceptor is an independent placement service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any listed institution. The school makes every approval decision, and no placement or approval is guaranteed.

No cost to request. An advisor reviews the current course, pathway, location, and approval requirements before candidate sourcing begins.
We do not guarantee placement. Final approval rests with your program.
