When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, our role is to source and document a possible match for Gannon University review. The institution remains the approval authority, and the accreditation evidence on this page establishes only an accredited master's nursing degree.
This snapshot identifies the institution and the accreditation evidence used for directory inclusion. It does not say that Gannon 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 current directory basis is CCNE evidence, verified July 21, 2026, for master's nursing education at Gannon University. The evidence does not publish a complete course plan for this student. Treat concentration, modality, practice hours, affiliation rules, placement responsibility, and approval criteria as separate facts that require current school sources.
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.
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 Gannon University offers an NP concentration, so the student must first confirm the pathway and its current rules.
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 Gannon University offers these pathways.
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 Gannon University.
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 Gannon University's requirement. Confirm the current handbook, degree audit, course instructions, and field placement office before calculating the request.
The MSN hours guide can help a student ask better questions about pathway and course structure. It cannot calculate a Gannon University requirement. That calculation belongs to the current program, using the student's active curriculum, degree audit, and course sequence.
The accreditation directory locates Gannon University in Erie, Pennsylvania, 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.
For broader setting context, review the MSN practicum guide for Pennsylvania. 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.
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. Gannon University may separately require affiliation agreements, compliance checks, background items, insurance, or other review steps.
A practical readiness checklist includes the active catalog year, degree audit, course number, pathway, applied objective, confirmed hours, dates, approved geography, setting category, candidate qualifications, conflict rules, affiliation needs, compliance items, required forms, and review deadline. Mark every unresolved item for written program confirmation before the search brief is final.
Our independent sourcing process starts with the verified requirement packet, not a school-policy assumption. We look for a candidate whose role and setting appear aligned, document the relevant facts, and submit them to the program's process. Use the request form when the current instructions are ready.
MSNPreceptor works independently and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Gannon 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. Gannon 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 Gannon University. We source and document possible candidates for program review and do not guarantee placement or approval.
