When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, Kent 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. Kent 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.
As of the July 21, 2026 source review, CCNE records supported an accredited master's nursing degree at Kent State University. That is a useful verification point but a limited one. It cannot be used to infer available specialties, delivery method, field-experience hours, approval deadlines, mentor rules, or placement assistance.
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.
When a student's confirmed course is an NP practicum, the match may center on population focus and supervised patient care. A program can evaluate the proposed clinician's certification, license, experience, practice site, patient access, availability, and willingness to complete forms. Accreditation does not tell us whether Kent State University offers that course or which clinician types it accepts.
Non-NP field experiences can place the learning objective outside direct patient care. Education may involve teaching or professional development; leadership may involve systems, operations, administration, or quality. The proposed mentor needs experience that matches the confirmed course. Do not infer that Kent State University offers either option from its master's accreditation.
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 Kent State University offers all or any of them.
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 Kent State University's requirement. Confirm the current handbook, degree audit, course instructions, and field placement office before calculating the request.
Our MSN hours resource shows why NP, education, leadership, informatics, public health, and other experiences should not share one assumed total. The current program must still state what this student needs and which portion a proposed person and site would supervise.
The directory records Kent, Ohio as the institution location. It does not determine the student's eligible placement area or authorize any site. Ask Kent State University to confirm the state and setting boundaries, then evaluate candidates for relevant work, credentials, availability, supervision, conflicts, paperwork, and site participation.
Use the Ohio MSN placement overview to think through local setting categories and practical geography. It does not establish an authorization or approval rule for Kent State University; only the current program can do that.
Treat candidate sourcing and school approval as separate stages. We can organize role, credentials, site information, dates, objectives, availability, and requested documents for review. Kent State University alone decides whether the person and organization meet current course rules and whether any contracts, compliance steps, or additional forms are complete.
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.
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.
Our role is limited to independent candidate sourcing and documentation. MSNPreceptor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Kent State 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. Kent 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 Kent 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.
