When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, we can help students at Saint Mary's College-Indiana prepare an approval-ready proposal. We do not decide eligibility, and the national accreditation record does not reveal a concentration, hour total, modality, or placement model.
The compact record deliberately separates an accreditation fact from placement assumptions. Saint Mary's College-Indiana 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.
Saint Mary's College-Indiana 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.
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.
Direct patient-care learning may need a population-matched nurse practitioner or physician plus a setting that can support the intended encounters and supervision. A title alone is not enough: the program may review credentials, active practice, site access, conflicts, and documentation. This conditional example does not establish an NP offering or policy at Saint Mary's College-Indiana.
When the verified pathway is education, an experienced academic or clinical educator may be the relevant mentor. When it is leadership or administration, an executive, operations, or quality professional may be more aligned. The course objectives and current credential rules decide the fit. The roster does not show whether Saint Mary's College-Indiana offers these pathways.
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.
A master's nursing degree does not carry one universal field-hour requirement. The student's pathway, individual course, curriculum version, transfer history, and catalog year can affect what remains. Confirm the current Saint Mary's College-Indiana handbook and degree audit, plus any course-specific placement instructions, instead of treating a generic number as a school rule.
The MSN clinical hours guide explains the difference between direct-care and other applied experiences without assigning an unsupported total to this institution. Once the program confirms the exact course requirement, the search can focus on the hours, setting, supervision, and objectives that actually need approval.
Use Notre Dame, Indiana as directory context only. A student's actual search area should come from current Saint Mary's College-Indiana 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 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.
The program needs a proposal it can evaluate, not just a contact name. Build the file around course fit, candidate qualifications, site capacity, dates, supervision, geography, conflicts, and all requested documents. Any affiliation agreement, compliance review, authorization, insurance, background requirement, or other condition remains with Saint Mary's College-Indiana and the proposed site.
Confirm these items before outreach: the exact MSN pathway and course; whether an applied experience is required; the approved hours and dates; the eligible state and setting; the required preceptor or mentor credentials; the course objectives; any prohibited relationships; the affiliation and compliance process; every school and site form; and the submission deadline for the student's active term.
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.
MSNPreceptor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Saint Mary's College-Indiana and does not speak for its nursing program. Candidate sourcing is not school approval. We cannot guarantee availability, placement, affiliation completion, acceptance, course progression, or any other result, and the institution applies its own current rules.
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. Saint Mary's College-Indiana 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 Saint Mary's College-Indiana. We source and document possible candidates for program review and do not guarantee placement or approval.
