When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, Delaware State University students may ask us to search for a candidate that fits the requirements they confirm. The program approves or declines every proposal, and directory inclusion should not be read as a statement of school policy.
The compact record deliberately separates an accreditation fact from placement assumptions. Delaware State University is included because of its master's nursing accreditation evidence. The record does not establish what concentrations it offers, whether a course has field hours, or whether the student, school, or another party sources a site.
Our July 21, 2026 roster check found Delaware State University in the ACEN 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.
Translate the current handbook and course instructions into a search brief before outreach. The brief should state the pathway, course, applied objective, dates, approved state, setting, population or project focus, supervisor criteria, site documents, compliance needs, and review process. Unconfirmed assumptions should be marked for the program to resolve.
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 Delaware State University confirms the actual pathway and course requirements for the student.
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 Delaware State University.
A confirmed informatics course may need expertise in clinical systems, analytics, implementation, or workflow. A public health, community, quality, care coordination, or clinical nurse leader course may need a different setting and mentor. Use the MSN pathways page to separate the categories, then apply only the criteria supplied by Delaware State University.
No fixed MSN practicum total can be assigned to Delaware State University from accreditation evidence. Required hours vary by program, pathway, course, and catalog year. The current catalog, handbook, degree audit, course shell, and field placement office should resolve the total and how it is distributed before a preceptor, mentor, or site search is scoped.
The MSN hours guide can help a student ask better questions about pathway and course structure. It cannot calculate a Delaware State University requirement. That calculation belongs to the current program, using the student's active curriculum, degree audit, and course sequence.
The accreditation directory locates Delaware State University in Dover, Delaware, 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 Delaware 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.
An approval-ready file states who the proposed person is, what role that person would perform, where the experience would occur, which course objectives the setting supports, and when supervision is available. It also includes the credentials and forms the program requests. Delaware State University may separately require affiliation agreements, compliance checks, background items, insurance, or other review steps.
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.
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.
This is independent placement support, not a service operated, approved, or endorsed by Delaware State University. We have no authority to accept a person or site and cannot promise that a suitable candidate will be available or that a proposal will pass program and site review. Final decisions remain outside our control.
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. Delaware State 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 Delaware State 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.
