When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, we help Sura College students identify and document a candidate for program review. Sura College controls approval, and accreditation alone does not establish the pathway, hours, placement policy, or site rules.
The compact record deliberately separates an accreditation fact from placement assumptions. Sura College 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.
As of the July 21, 2026 source review, ACEN records supported an accredited master's nursing degree at Sura College. 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.
Start with the documents controlling the student's actual term. The course number, pathway, objectives, dates, approved geography, setting type, candidate credentials, affiliation requirements, compliance items, and submission forms should all be confirmed before anyone contacts a potential site. Older catalogs or another university's rules are not reliable substitutes.
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 Sura College offers that pathway or accepts every professional with those credentials.
Other MSN pathways use different role logic. A nurse educator experience may fit an academic, staff-development, simulation, or clinical education mentor. Leadership or administration work may fit a nurse executive, operations leader, quality leader, or another approved mentor. The setting and person must support the actual objectives, and this comparison does not imply that Sura College offers either pathway.
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 Sura College.
MSN practice requirements cannot be reduced to one reliable number. Hours vary with the program, pathway, course, and catalog year, and some courses may use field experiences that differ in purpose. Ask Sura College to confirm the student's current requirement in writing, then use that answer rather than an online comparison or a figure from another pathway.
Read how MSN practicum hours vary, then verify the active course with Sura College. Sourcing should begin only after the program confirms the amount, experience type, approved geography, supervisor role, setting, and forms attached to the requirement.
A school location and a practicum location are separate facts. Although Sura College is listed in Scottsdale, Arizona, the student should verify state authorization, course geography, licensure considerations, and affiliation requirements before outreach. The selected person and organization must also support the confirmed objectives and approval process.
Our Arizona 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.
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.
MSNPreceptor works independently and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Sura College. 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. Sura College 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 Sura College. 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.
