When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, we can help students at Gonzaga University prepare an approval-ready proposal. We do not decide eligibility, and the national accreditation record does not reveal a concentration, hour total, modality, or placement model.
This snapshot identifies the institution and the accreditation evidence used for directory inclusion. It does not say that Gonzaga 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 CCNE source included Gonzaga 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.
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 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 Gonzaga 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 Gonzaga University offers these pathways.
Informatics may call for a nurse informaticist or clinical systems professional working with analytics, implementation, workflow, or technology. Public health, community health, clinical nurse leader, care coordination, quality, and other pathways can point to still different mentors and settings. Use the MSN pathway guide to frame the distinction, then let the student's current program define the eligible role.
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 Gonzaga University's requirement. Confirm the current handbook, degree audit, course instructions, and field placement office before calculating the request.
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.
The directory records Spokane, Washington as the institution location. It does not determine the student's eligible placement area or authorize any site. Ask Gonzaga University to confirm the state and setting boundaries, then evaluate candidates for relevant work, credentials, availability, supervision, conflicts, paperwork, and site participation.
Read the MSN preceptor and practicum guide for Washington for geographic planning. Its examples are general and do not turn a person or site into an approved Gonzaga University placement.
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.
The student should be able to show the current course instructions, degree audit, confirmed hours, learning objectives, approved state, acceptable setting, supervisor criteria, affiliation information, compliance steps, forms, and review deadline. If any item comes from memory or an older term, check it again with the current program before outreach.
We source against confirmed requirements and document a possible match for school review. The steps are described on how it works. When the student can provide the current course, pathway, dates, location, role, setting, and forms, submit a sourcing request to begin.
Our role is limited to independent candidate sourcing and documentation. MSNPreceptor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Gonzaga University, cannot waive any school or site requirement, and does not guarantee placement or approval. The current program determines whether the proposal fits the student's pathway and course.
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. Gonzaga 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 Gonzaga 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.
