When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, we support Davenport University students with candidate sourcing and documentation. Final review stays with the program, and accreditation confirms the master's degree rather than any particular pathway, hours, or placement procedure.
This snapshot identifies the institution and the accreditation evidence used for directory inclusion. It does not say that Davenport University offers a particular NP or non-NP pathway, teaches online, assigns a specific practicum total, or expects students to find their own sites. Those facts require current official program materials.
The accreditation fact for Davenport University comes from CCNE and was verified for this roster on July 21, 2026. Its scope is degree accreditation. The source does not prove a particular specialty, course format, practicum requirement, student sourcing model, review timeline, or candidate qualification standard.
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.
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 Davenport University 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 Davenport University offers these pathways.
Informatics, public health, community health, care coordination, quality, and clinical nurse leader courses cannot be reduced to one supervisor template. The relevant professional and site follow the approved objective, whether it involves systems, analytics, implementation, population work, or coordination. Our MSN specialty guide provides context but does not establish an offering at Davenport University.
MSN practice requirements cannot be reduced to one reliable number. Hours vary with the program, pathway, course, and catalog year, and some courses may use field experiences that differ in purpose. Ask Davenport University to confirm the student's current requirement in writing, then use that answer rather than an online comparison or a figure from another pathway.
Read how MSN practicum hours vary, then verify the active course with Davenport University. Sourcing should begin only after the program confirms the amount, experience type, approved geography, supervisor role, setting, and forms attached to the requirement.
A school location and a practicum location are separate facts. Although Davenport University is listed in Grand Rapids, Michigan, 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.
Use the Michigan MSN placement overview to think through local setting categories and practical geography. It does not establish an authorization or approval rule for Davenport University; only the current program can do that.
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.
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.
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.
MSNPreceptor works independently and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Davenport University. School names are used descriptively so students can find the right planning page. A sourcing request creates no guarantee of a candidate, placement, approval, graduation, licensure, or other academic or professional outcome.
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. Davenport 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 Davenport 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.
