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 Michigan State University review. The institution remains the approval authority, and the accreditation evidence on this page establishes only an accredited master's nursing degree.
Accreditation is the basis for listing Michigan State University, but accreditation is not a course instruction. A student still needs the current catalog, degree audit, handbook, and placement materials to verify pathway, course design, required hours, location limits, deadlines, and candidate qualifications.
As of the July 21, 2026 source review, CCNE records supported an accredited master's nursing degree at Michigan 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.
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.
If the confirmed pathway is a direct-care nurse practitioner pathway, a course may call for supervised patient care with a population-aligned, board-certified nurse practitioner or physician. The candidate's active practice, patient population, license, certification, site capacity, and ability to meet course objectives may matter. This description explains a pathway category; it does not claim that Michigan State University offers that pathway or accepts every professional with those credentials.
Education and leadership experiences should not be screened as NP rotations. An education course may call for a mentor involved in teaching, simulation, professional development, or clinical instruction. A leadership course may align with operations, administration, quality, or executive practice. The current program must confirm the pathway, person, and site because accreditation establishes none of those offerings for Michigan State University.
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 Michigan State University offers all or any of them.
Do not estimate a student's requirement from the MSN label. There is no universal practicum total, and required hours vary across programs, pathways, courses, and catalog years. Use Michigan State University's current documents and field placement guidance to confirm both the total and the purpose of the experience. The MSN hours guide explains why totals differ.
Read how MSN practicum hours vary, then verify the active course with Michigan State University. Sourcing should begin only after the program confirms the amount, experience type, approved geography, supervisor role, setting, and forms attached to the requirement.
The accreditation directory locates Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, 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.
The Michigan MSN placement guide describes the wider search landscape. Use it to understand possible settings, not to bypass the program's course, state authorization, affiliation, credential, or approval requirements.
Treat candidate sourcing and school approval as separate stages. We can organize role, credentials, site information, dates, objectives, availability, and requested documents for review. Michigan State University alone decides whether the person and organization meet current course rules and whether any contracts, compliance steps, or additional forms are complete.
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.
MSNPreceptor works independently and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Michigan State 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. Michigan 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 Michigan 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.
