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 Montclair State 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 Montclair State 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.
As of the July 21, 2026 source review, CCNE records supported an accredited master's nursing degree at Montclair 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.
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 Montclair State University without its current instructions.
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 Montclair 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 Montclair 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 Montclair State University identify the controlling handbook, current degree audit, course instructions, and approved distribution before building a placement request around any number.
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.
Use Montclair, New Jersey as directory context only. A student's actual search area should come from current Montclair State University guidance about authorized states, course location, site eligibility, and affiliation. Even inside an approved area, a willing professional or organization is not automatically an eligible match.
Our New Jersey MSN guide gives a state-level view of possible practice and systems settings. The school page and state page are planning aids; the current program still decides whether the student's location, candidate, site, and documents are acceptable.
Treat candidate sourcing and school approval as separate stages. We can organize role, credentials, site information, dates, objectives, availability, and requested documents for review. Montclair 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.
This is independent placement support, not a service operated, approved, or endorsed by Montclair State University. We have no authority to accept a person or site and cannot promise that a suitable candidate will be available or that a proposal will pass program and site review. Final decisions remain outside our control.
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. Montclair 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 Montclair 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.
