When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences students may ask us to search for a candidate that fits the requirements they confirm. The program approves or declines every proposal, and directory inclusion should not be read as a statement of school policy.
Use the snapshot as an identity and evidence check, not as a substitute for a handbook. The accreditor record supports an accredited master's nursing degree at Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences; it does not answer which pathways are active, how courses are delivered, how many hours apply, or who handles placement.
The accreditation fact for Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences comes from CCNE and was verified for this roster on July 21, 2026. Its scope is degree accreditation. The source does not prove a particular specialty, course format, practicum requirement, student sourcing model, review timeline, or candidate qualification standard.
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.
A direct-care pathway can make the clinical population and supervisor's certification central to site fit. The program may need evidence of current licensure, board certification, active practice, relevant patients, adequate supervision, and a compliant setting. Apply that screen only after Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences confirms the actual pathway and course requirements for the student.
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 Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences 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 Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences.
Do not estimate a student's requirement from the MSN label. There is no universal practicum total, and required hours vary across programs, pathways, courses, and catalog years. Use Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences's current documents and field placement guidance to confirm both the total and the purpose of the experience. The MSN hours guide explains why totals differ.
Read how MSN practicum hours vary, then verify the active course with Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. Sourcing should begin only after the program confirms the amount, experience type, approved geography, supervisor role, setting, and forms attached to the requirement.
The directory records Bethesda, Maryland as the institution location. It does not determine the student's eligible placement area or authorize any site. Ask Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences to confirm the state and setting boundaries, then evaluate candidates for relevant work, credentials, availability, supervision, conflicts, paperwork, and site participation.
Use the Maryland MSN placement overview to think through local setting categories and practical geography. It does not establish an authorization or approval rule for Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences; only the current program can do that.
Treat candidate sourcing and school approval as separate stages. We can organize role, credentials, site information, dates, objectives, availability, and requested documents for review. Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences alone decides whether the person and organization meet current course rules and whether any contracts, compliance steps, or additional forms are complete.
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.
Our role is limited to independent candidate sourcing and documentation. MSNPreceptor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, cannot waive any school or site requirement, and does not guarantee placement or approval. The current program determines whether the proposal fits the student's pathway and course.
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. Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences 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 Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. We source and document possible candidates for program review and do not guarantee placement or approval.
