This snapshot identifies the institution and the accreditation evidence used for directory inclusion. It does not say that Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College 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.

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College appears here because the CCNE accreditation record supported its master's nursing degree on the July 21, 2026 review date. That source is not evidence that every MSN student needs a placement or that the school offers any named pathway. It also does not establish hours, site standards, or mentor eligibility.

A useful request begins with a current requirement packet. Confirm the pathway, course purpose, term, location limits, expected setting, supervisor qualifications, disallowed relationships, compliance steps, affiliation process, and approval deadline. If the program has not confirmed that a field experience applies, do not assume one from the MSN degree name.

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 Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College 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 Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College.

An informatics experience can center on clinical systems, analytics, implementation, technology adoption, or workflow and may need a nurse informaticist or another approved systems professional. Public health, community practice, care coordination, quality, clinical nurse leader, and other pathways use their own objectives. The MSN specialties overview helps compare roles without assigning one to this school.

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 Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College identify the controlling handbook, current degree audit, course instructions, and approved distribution before building a placement request around any number.

Read how MSN practicum hours vary, then verify the active course with Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. Sourcing should begin only after the program confirms the amount, experience type, approved geography, supervisor role, setting, and forms attached to the requirement.

Start the geographic plan with the student's authorized location, not an assumption drawn from Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College's Saint Mary of the Woods address. The program may apply state, site, licensure, affiliation, or modality rules that the accreditation source does not show. Every proposed setting still needs course fit and program approval.

Our Indiana 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.

Before submission, organize the candidate's professional role, active credentials, relevant experience, site, availability, relationship to the student, and fit with each course objective. Attach the current school forms rather than a generic template. The program may still need contracts, compliance materials, authorization checks, or other institutional approvals.

Before a candidate is contacted, verify the pathway, course, practicum purpose, hours, term dates, location authorization, eligible setting, supervisor role, required license or certification, experience standard, affiliation process, compliance checklist, forms, conflicts, and school deadline. A missing requirement can change who or what counts as a useful match.

If the confirmed course calls for an outside person or setting, send the pathway, objectives, dates, geography, role criteria, site criteria, and forms through the matching request. Our process guide explains how candidate screening supports, but never replaces, the program's approval review.
