When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, our role is to source and document a possible match for University of Hartford review. The institution remains the approval authority, and the accreditation evidence on this page establishes only an accredited master's nursing degree.
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 University of Hartford; it does not answer which pathways are active, how courses are delivered, how many hours apply, or who handles placement.
The current directory basis is CCNE evidence, verified July 21, 2026, for master's nursing education at University of Hartford. The evidence does not publish a complete course plan for this student. Treat concentration, modality, practice hours, affiliation rules, placement responsibility, and approval criteria as separate facts that require current school sources.
Do not begin with a generic MSN placement template. Begin with the current course and ask the program to verify the pathway, required role, learning objectives, eligible setting, geography, credential standard, paperwork, compliance items, affiliation needs, and deadline. That keeps the candidate screen tied to the student's actual requirement.
When a student's confirmed course is an NP practicum, the match may center on population focus and supervised patient care. A program can evaluate the proposed clinician's certification, license, experience, practice site, patient access, availability, and willingness to complete forms. Accreditation does not tell us whether University of Hartford offers that course or which clinician types it accepts.
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 University of Hartford offers either pathway.
Informatics, public health, community health, care coordination, quality, and clinical nurse leader courses cannot be reduced to one supervisor template. The relevant professional and site follow the approved objective, whether it involves systems, analytics, implementation, population work, or coordination. Our MSN specialty guide provides context but does not establish an offering at University of Hartford.
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 University of Hartford'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.
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 University of Hartford's West Hartford 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.
For broader setting context, review the MSN practicum guide for Connecticut. It can help identify categories of clinical, education, leadership, informatics, public health, and systems sites, while the student's current program remains the authority on what is allowed.
Candidate willingness is only the beginning. An approval packet should explain the role, credentials, setting, relevant work, supervision, availability, course alignment, and paperwork status. The program can then apply its current affiliation, compliance, authorization, conflict, site, and mentor rules without relying on unstated assumptions.
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.
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.
This is independent placement support, not a service operated, approved, or endorsed by University of Hartford. We have no authority to accept a person or site and cannot promise that a suitable candidate will be available or that a proposal will pass program and site review. Final decisions remain outside our control.
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 Hartford 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 Hartford. 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.
