When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, independent sourcing support is available to Benedictine University students. We organize a candidate around the current instructions, while Benedictine University makes every approval decision and its accreditation listing proves no school-specific placement rule.
Use the snapshot as an identity and evidence check, not as a substitute for a handbook. The accreditor record supports an accredited master's nursing degree at Benedictine University; it does not answer which pathways are active, how courses are delivered, how many hours apply, or who handles placement.
The current directory basis is CCNE evidence, verified July 21, 2026, for master's nursing education at Benedictine University. The evidence does not publish a complete course plan for this student. Treat concentration, modality, practice hours, affiliation rules, placement responsibility, and approval criteria as separate facts that require current school sources.
Before outreach, identify the student's exact pathway and course, then collect the current catalog page, handbook section, degree audit, course objectives, field forms, and contact instructions. Ask the program to confirm whether this course requires a preceptor, mentor, site, or other applied experience and which facts must appear in the proposal.
If the confirmed pathway is a direct-care nurse practitioner pathway, a course may call for supervised patient care with a population-aligned, board-certified nurse practitioner or physician. The candidate's active practice, patient population, license, certification, site capacity, and ability to meet course objectives may matter. This description explains a pathway category; it does not claim that Benedictine University offers that pathway or accepts every professional with those credentials.
An educator course and a leadership course ask different questions of a proposed mentor. One may focus on teaching environments, curriculum, simulation, or staff development; the other may focus on operations, quality, administration, or executive work. Only current Benedictine University materials can establish whether either pathway exists and what qualifications apply.
Informatics may call for a nurse informaticist or clinical systems professional working with analytics, implementation, workflow, or technology. Public health, community health, clinical nurse leader, care coordination, quality, and other pathways can point to still different mentors and settings. Use the MSN pathway guide to frame the distinction, then let the student's current program define the eligible role.
There is no universal MSN practicum total across schools and pathways. Required hours vary by program, pathway, course, and catalog year. Do not use a number from another institution, an older handbook, or a different concentration as Benedictine University's requirement. Confirm the current handbook, degree audit, course instructions, and field placement office before calculating the request.
Read how MSN practicum hours vary, then verify the active course with Benedictine University. Sourcing should begin only after the program confirms the amount, experience type, approved geography, supervisor role, setting, and forms attached to the requirement.
The directory records Lisle, Illinois as the institution location. It does not determine the student's eligible placement area or authorize any site. Ask Benedictine University to confirm the state and setting boundaries, then evaluate candidates for relevant work, credentials, availability, supervision, conflicts, paperwork, and site participation.
Read the MSN preceptor and practicum guide for Illinois for geographic planning. Its examples are general and do not turn a person or site into an approved Benedictine University placement.
A complete proposal connects the current course to a specific person and setting. Document the candidate's credentials, role, experience, site, availability, supervision plan, and willingness to complete school paperwork. This preparation helps Benedictine University review the request but cannot replace its affiliation, compliance, authorization, background, or approval process.
Confirm these items before outreach: the exact MSN pathway and course; whether an applied experience is required; the approved hours and dates; the eligible state and setting; the required preceptor or mentor credentials; the course objectives; any prohibited relationships; the affiliation and compliance process; every school and site form; and the submission deadline for the student's active term.
If the confirmed course calls for an outside person or setting, send the pathway, objectives, dates, geography, role criteria, site criteria, and forms through the matching request. Our process guide explains how candidate screening supports, but never replaces, the program's approval review.
MSNPreceptor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Benedictine University and does not speak for its nursing program. Candidate sourcing is not school approval. We cannot guarantee availability, placement, affiliation completion, acceptance, course progression, or any other result, and the institution applies its own current rules.
It applies when the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site and the student has the current requirements needed for sourcing. Benedictine University makes every approval decision.
No. The accreditation evidence establishes an accredited master's nursing degree on the verification date. It does not prove an NP concentration, education, leadership, informatics, public health, or another pathway, and it does not establish modality or placement policy.
There is no universal MSN practicum total. Required hours vary by program, pathway, course, and catalog year. Confirm the current handbook, degree audit, course instructions, and field placement office rather than relying on a generic number.
The answer follows the confirmed pathway and course. Direct-care NP, education, leadership, informatics, public health, quality, and other experiences can require different professionals and settings. The current program must approve the proposed role, credentials, site, and paperwork.
No. MSNPreceptor is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Benedictine University. We source and document possible candidates for program review and do not guarantee placement or approval.

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.
