This snapshot identifies the institution and the accreditation evidence used for directory inclusion.

Those facts require current official program materials.

Confirm the current California State Univ., East Bay MSN requirements

Our July 21, 2026 roster check found California State University, East Bay in the CCNE accreditation evidence for master's nursing education. Accreditation supports the institution's presence in this directory. It does not identify the student's pathway, course objectives, supervisor credentials, practicum setting, location authorization, or sourcing responsibility.

The student's current program materials should answer the questions the accreditation listing cannot. Gather the catalog year, course instructions, degree audit, objectives, approved locations, mentor or preceptor criteria, site forms, affiliation language, compliance checklist, and submission sequence before defining the search.

Match the supervisor and site to the MSN pathway

A direct-care NP course can require a clinical site and a nurse practitioner or physician whose certification and patient population align with the student's focus. Programs may examine licensure, board status, practice activity, supervision, patient access, conflicts, and site paperwork. Nothing in the accreditation record shows that California State University, East Bay offers an NP concentration, so the student must first confirm the pathway and its current rules.

Education and leadership experiences should not be screened as NP rotations. An education course may call for a mentor involved in teaching, simulation, professional development, or clinical instruction. A leadership course may align with operations, administration, quality, or executive practice. The current program must confirm the pathway, person, and site because accreditation establishes none of those offerings for California State University, East Bay.

An informatics experience can center on clinical systems, analytics, implementation, technology adoption, or workflow and may need a nurse informaticist or another approved systems professional. Public health, community practice, care coordination, quality, clinical nurse leader, and other pathways use their own objectives. The MSN specialties overview helps compare roles without assigning one to this school.

Confirm practicum hours instead of assuming a total

A master's nursing degree does not carry one universal field-hour requirement. The student's pathway, individual course, curriculum version, transfer history, and catalog year can affect what remains. Confirm the current California State University, East Bay handbook and degree audit, plus any course-specific placement instructions, instead of treating a generic number as a school rule.

Read how MSN practicum hours vary, then verify the active course with California State University, East Bay. Sourcing should begin only after the program confirms the amount, experience type, approved geography, supervisor role, setting, and forms attached to the requirement.

Plan an approval-ready search in California

A school location and a practicum location are separate facts. Although California State University, East Bay is listed in Hayward, California, the student should verify state authorization, course geography, licensure considerations, and affiliation requirements before outreach. The selected person and organization must also support the confirmed objectives and approval process.

For broader setting context, review the MSN practicum guide for California. It can help identify categories of clinical, education, leadership, informatics, public health, and systems sites, while the student's current program remains the authority on what is allowed.

Before submission, organize the candidate's professional role, active credentials, relevant experience, site, availability, relationship to the student, and fit with each course objective. Attach the current school forms rather than a generic template. The program may still need contracts, compliance materials, authorization checks, or other institutional approvals.

Use a current-course readiness checklist

A complete search brief names the student's actual pathway and course and records the approved experience type, hours, dates, location, setting, person, credentials, objectives, forms, conflicts, affiliation steps, compliance items, and submission sequence. Confirm any blank with the field placement office rather than filling it with another school's practice.
