When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, University of Arkansas 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.
This snapshot identifies the institution and the accreditation evidence used for directory inclusion. It does not say that University of Arkansas 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.
The CCNE source included University of Arkansas in its accredited master's nursing records when this roster was checked on July 21, 2026. That establishes the degree-level accreditation used here, not an NP concentration, education track, leadership track, informatics option, public health focus, exact hour total, modality, deadline, or placement policy.
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 NP course can require a clinical site and a nurse practitioner or physician whose certification and patient population align with the student's focus. Programs may examine licensure, board status, practice activity, supervision, patient access, conflicts, and site paperwork. Nothing in the accreditation record shows that University of Arkansas offers an NP concentration, so the student must first confirm the pathway and its current rules.
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 University of Arkansas offers these pathways.
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 University of Arkansas.
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 University of Arkansas identify the controlling handbook, current degree audit, course instructions, and approved distribution before building a placement request around any number.
A broad explanation is available in the MSN clinical hours guide, but the student's course documents are controlling. Confirm whether the experience is direct care, education, leadership, systems, community, quality, or another purpose so the candidate and site are screened against the right objectives.
The directory records Fayetteville, Arkansas as the institution location. It does not determine the student's eligible placement area or authorize any site. Ask University of Arkansas to confirm the state and setting boundaries, then evaluate candidates for relevant work, credentials, availability, supervision, conflicts, paperwork, and site participation.
Our Arkansas 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. University of Arkansas may separately require affiliation agreements, compliance checks, background items, insurance, or other review steps.
Build the request from verified fields: current pathway, course, catalog year, field objective, required hours, term, geography, site type, candidate role, credentials, conflicts, affiliation requirements, compliance documents, school forms, and deadline. The goal is to remove ambiguity before a possible preceptor, mentor, or organization is asked to participate.
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 works independently and is not affiliated with or endorsed by University of Arkansas. 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. University of Arkansas 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 University of Arkansas. We source and document possible candidates for program review and do not guarantee placement or approval.
