The directory record answers one narrow question: why College of Staten Island - CUNY belongs in this MSN roster.

Confirm each of those points directly for the student's catalog year.

Confirm the current College of Staten Island - CUNY MSN requirements

As of the July 21, 2026 source review, ACEN records supported an accredited master's nursing degree at College of Staten Island - CUNY. 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.

A useful request begins with a current requirement packet. Confirm the pathway, course purpose, term, location limits, expected setting, supervisor qualifications, disallowed relationships, compliance steps, affiliation process, and approval deadline. If the program has not confirmed that a field experience applies, do not assume one from the MSN degree name.

Match the supervisor and site to the MSN pathway

When a student's confirmed course is an NP practicum, the match may center on population focus and supervised patient care. A program can evaluate the proposed clinician's certification, license, experience, practice site, patient access, availability, and willingness to complete forms. Accreditation does not tell us whether College of Staten Island - CUNY offers that course or which clinician types it accepts.

A nurse educator practicum can focus on curriculum, teaching, staff development, simulation, or learner evaluation, while a leadership practicum can focus on operations, quality, administration, or organizational change. Each calls for relevant expertise rather than a generic clinical title. These are conditional pathway examples and not claims about the programs available at College of Staten Island - CUNY.

The word practicum can describe very different work. Informatics may involve technology and workflow; public or community health may involve population initiatives; quality, care coordination, and clinical nurse leader work may sit in other systems settings. The MSN pathway guide explains these distinctions without claiming that College of Staten Island - CUNY offers all or any of them.

Confirm practicum hours instead of assuming a total

Do not estimate a student's requirement from the MSN label. There is no universal practicum total, and required hours vary across programs, pathways, courses, and catalog years. Use College of Staten Island - CUNY's current documents and field placement guidance to confirm both the total and the purpose of the experience. The MSN hours guide explains why totals differ.

Read how MSN practicum hours vary, then verify the active course with College of Staten Island - CUNY. 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 New York

Use Staten Island, New York as directory context only. A student's actual search area should come from current College of Staten Island - CUNY guidance about authorized states, course location, site eligibility, and affiliation. Even inside an approved area, a willing professional or organization is not automatically an eligible match.

For broader setting context, review the MSN practicum guide for New York. 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

Build the request from verified fields: current pathway, course, catalog year, field objective, required hours, term, geography, site type, candidate role, credentials, conflicts, affiliation requirements, compliance documents, school forms, and deadline. The goal is to remove ambiguity before a possible preceptor, mentor, or organization is asked to participate.
