The directory record answers one narrow question: why Ohio State University, The 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 current directory basis is CCNE evidence, verified July 21, 2026, for master's nursing education at Ohio State University, The. The evidence does not publish a complete course plan for this student. Treat concentration, modality, practice hours, affiliation rules, placement responsibility, and approval criteria as separate facts that require current school sources.

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 Ohio State University, The offers an NP concentration, so the student must first confirm the pathway and its current rules.

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 Ohio State University, The materials can establish whether either pathway exists and what qualifications apply.

A confirmed informatics course may need expertise in clinical systems, analytics, implementation, or workflow. A public health, community, quality, care coordination, or clinical nurse leader course may need a different setting and mentor. Use the MSN pathways page to separate the categories, then apply only the criteria supplied by Ohio State University, The.

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 Ohio State University, The's requirement. Confirm the current handbook, degree audit, course instructions, and field placement office before calculating the request.

A broad explanation is available in the MSN clinical hours guide, but the student's course documents are controlling. Confirm whether the experience is direct care, education, leadership, systems, community, quality, or another purpose so the candidate and site are screened against the right objectives.

Columbus, Ohio is the directory location for Ohio State University, The; 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.

The Ohio 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.

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.

Build the request from verified fields: current pathway, course, catalog year, field objective, required hours, term, geography, site type, candidate role, credentials, conflicts, affiliation requirements, compliance documents, school forms, and deadline. The goal is to remove ambiguity before a possible preceptor, mentor, or organization is asked to participate.

The MSN placement workflow separates requirement review, candidate sourcing, documentation, and school approval. That sequence helps avoid asking the wrong professional or site to participate. After the current pathway and course rules are confirmed, request a match to start an independent search.

Nothing on this page is issued by Ohio State University, The. 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.
