When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, independent sourcing support is available to Georgia State University students. We organize a candidate around the current instructions, while Georgia State University makes every approval decision and its accreditation listing proves no school-specific placement rule.
The directory record answers one narrow question: why Georgia State University belongs in this MSN roster. It cannot establish concentration availability, modality, mentor qualifications, state authorization, hour requirements, or the institution's placement process. Confirm each of those points directly for the student's catalog year.
The CCNE source included Georgia State University in its accredited master's nursing records when this roster was checked on July 21, 2026. That establishes the degree-level accreditation used here, not an NP concentration, education track, leadership track, informatics option, public health focus, exact hour total, modality, deadline, or placement policy.
The student's current program materials should answer the questions the accreditation listing cannot. Gather the catalog year, course instructions, degree audit, objectives, approved locations, mentor or preceptor criteria, site forms, affiliation language, compliance checklist, and submission sequence before defining the search.
For a verified direct-care NP course, the supervisor profile often differs from a general mentor profile. Population fit, board certification, current practice, licensure, patient mix, supervision capacity, and the site's ability to support course objectives can all affect review. These are planning considerations only and should not be attributed to Georgia State University without its current instructions.
An educator course and a leadership course ask different questions of a proposed mentor. One may focus on teaching environments, curriculum, simulation, or staff development; the other may focus on operations, quality, administration, or executive work. Only current Georgia State University materials can establish whether either pathway exists and what qualifications apply.
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 Georgia State University offers all or any of them.
The safe answer to the hours question is program confirmation. Required MSN hours vary by pathway, course, school, and catalog year, and the accreditation record provides no total. Have Georgia State University identify the controlling handbook, current degree audit, course instructions, and approved distribution before building a placement request around any number.
The MSN clinical hours guide explains the difference between direct-care and other applied experiences without assigning an unsupported total to this institution. Once the program confirms the exact course requirement, the search can focus on the hours, setting, supervision, and objectives that actually need approval.
Atlanta, Georgia is the directory location for Georgia State University; it is not a promise that every student can place there. The current program must confirm permitted states and any location restrictions. Geography is only one screen, alongside course objectives, setting fit, candidate credentials, site capacity, conflicts, affiliation terms, and required documentation.
For broader setting context, review the MSN practicum guide for Georgia. 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.
Candidate willingness is only the beginning. An approval packet should explain the role, credentials, setting, relevant work, supervision, availability, course alignment, and paperwork status. The program can then apply its current affiliation, compliance, authorization, conflict, site, and mentor rules without relying on unstated assumptions.
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.
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 Georgia State University. 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.
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. Georgia 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 Georgia 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.
