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 Catholic University of America, The; it does not answer which pathways are active, how courses are delivered, how many hours apply, or who handles placement.

As of the July 21, 2026 source review, CCNE records supported an accredited master's nursing degree at Catholic University of America, The. That is a useful verification point but a limited one. It cannot be used to infer available specialties, delivery method, field-experience hours, approval deadlines, mentor rules, or placement assistance.

Start with the documents controlling the student's actual term. The course number, pathway, objectives, dates, approved geography, setting type, candidate credentials, affiliation requirements, compliance items, and submission forms should all be confirmed before anyone contacts a potential site. Older catalogs or another university's rules are not reliable substitutes.

A direct-care pathway can make the clinical population and supervisor's certification central to site fit. The program may need evidence of current licensure, board certification, active practice, relevant patients, adequate supervision, and a compliant setting. Apply that screen only after Catholic University of America, The confirms the actual pathway and course requirements for the student.

When the verified pathway is education, an experienced academic or clinical educator may be the relevant mentor. When it is leadership or administration, an executive, operations, or quality professional may be more aligned. The course objectives and current credential rules decide the fit. The roster does not show whether Catholic University of America, The offers these pathways.

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 Catholic University of America, The'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 Catholic University of America, The. Sourcing should begin only after the program confirms the amount, experience type, approved geography, supervisor role, setting, and forms attached to the requirement.

The accreditation directory locates Catholic University of America, The in Washington, District of Columbia, but a campus address does not establish where a student may complete an experience. Confirm state authorization and approved geography first. A proposed local or out-of-state site must still fit the course, support the required work, provide an eligible supervisor, and participate in the program's review.

Our District of Columbia MSN guide gives a state-level view of possible practice and systems settings. The school page and state page are planning aids; the current program still decides whether the student's location, candidate, site, and documents are acceptable.

The program needs a proposal it can evaluate, not just a contact name. Build the file around course fit, candidate qualifications, site capacity, dates, supervision, geography, conflicts, and all requested documents. Any affiliation agreement, compliance review, authorization, insurance, background requirement, or other condition remains with Catholic University of America, The and the proposed site.

Before a candidate is contacted, verify the pathway, course, practicum purpose, hours, term dates, location authorization, eligible setting, supervisor role, required license or certification, experience standard, affiliation process, compliance checklist, forms, conflicts, and school deadline. A missing requirement can change who or what counts as a useful match.

Once the current requirements are clear, our placement process uses them to identify and screen a possible preceptor, mentor, or site. We share candidate information for program review rather than presenting a match as approved. A request can begin at the matching form after the student has the controlling course documents.

Nothing on this page is issued by Catholic University of America, The. MSNPreceptor is an independent service, is not affiliated with or endorsed by the institution, and cannot approve the student's preceptor, mentor, site, or paperwork. We also cannot guarantee that a match will be found or accepted.
