When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, independent sourcing support is available to State University of New York Downstate Health Sciences University students. We organize a candidate around the current instructions, while State University of New York Downstate Health Sciences University makes every approval decision and its accreditation listing proves no school-specific placement rule.
The directory record answers one narrow question: why State University of New York Downstate Health Sciences University 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.
State University of New York Downstate Health Sciences University 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.
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 State University of New York Downstate Health Sciences University without its current instructions.
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 State University of New York Downstate Health Sciences University offers these pathways.
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 State University of New York Downstate Health Sciences University offers all or any of them.
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 State University of New York Downstate Health Sciences University 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.
Start the geographic plan with the student's authorized location, not an assumption drawn from State University of New York Downstate Health Sciences University's Brooklyn 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 New York 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.
An approval-ready file states who the proposed person is, what role that person would perform, where the experience would occur, which course objectives the setting supports, and when supervision is available. It also includes the credentials and forms the program requests. State University of New York Downstate Health Sciences University may separately require affiliation agreements, compliance checks, background items, insurance, or other review steps.
The student should be able to show the current course instructions, degree audit, confirmed hours, learning objectives, approved state, acceptable setting, supervisor criteria, affiliation information, compliance steps, forms, and review deadline. If any item comes from memory or an older term, check it again with the current program before outreach.
Independent support is most useful after the student turns the current handbook and course instructions into a precise request. See how sourcing works, then use the request form with the course, pathway, location, setting, role, dates, and approval documents the program supplied.
MSNPreceptor works independently and is not affiliated with or endorsed by State University of New York Downstate Health Sciences 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. State University of New York Downstate Health Sciences 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 State University of New York Downstate Health Sciences University. We source and document possible candidates for program review and do not guarantee placement or approval.
