When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, we can help students at University of Iowa, The prepare an approval-ready proposal. We do not decide eligibility, and the national accreditation record does not reveal a concentration, hour total, modality, or placement model.
This snapshot identifies the institution and the accreditation evidence used for directory inclusion. It does not say that University of Iowa, The 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.
Our July 21, 2026 roster check found University of Iowa, The in the CCNE accreditation evidence for master's nursing education. Accreditation supports the institution's presence in this directory. It does not identify the student's pathway, course objectives, supervisor credentials, practicum setting, location authorization, or sourcing responsibility.
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.
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 University of Iowa, The confirms the actual pathway and course requirements for the student.
Non-NP field experiences can place the learning objective outside direct patient care. Education may involve teaching or professional development; leadership may involve systems, operations, administration, or quality. The proposed mentor needs experience that matches the confirmed course. Do not infer that University of Iowa, The offers either option from its master's accreditation.
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 Iowa, The.
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 University of Iowa, The handbook and degree audit, plus any course-specific placement instructions, instead of treating a generic number as a school rule.
Our MSN hours resource shows why NP, education, leadership, informatics, public health, and other experiences should not share one assumed total. The current program must still state what this student needs and which portion a proposed person and site would supervise.
Use Iowa City, Iowa as directory context only. A student's actual search area should come from current University of Iowa, The guidance about authorized states, course location, site eligibility, and affiliation. Even inside an approved area, a willing professional or organization is not automatically an eligible match.
The Iowa MSN placement guide describes the wider search landscape. Use it to understand possible settings, not to bypass the program's course, state authorization, affiliation, credential, or approval requirements.
The program needs a proposal it can evaluate, not just a contact name. Build the file around course fit, candidate qualifications, site capacity, dates, supervision, geography, conflicts, and all requested documents. Any affiliation agreement, compliance review, authorization, insurance, background requirement, or other condition remains with University of Iowa, The and the proposed site.
Confirm these items before outreach: the exact MSN pathway and course; whether an applied experience is required; the approved hours and dates; the eligible state and setting; the required preceptor or mentor credentials; the course objectives; any prohibited relationships; the affiliation and compliance process; every school and site form; and the submission deadline for the student's active term.
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 is not affiliated with or endorsed by University of Iowa, The and does not speak for its nursing program. Candidate sourcing is not school approval. We cannot guarantee availability, placement, affiliation completion, acceptance, course progression, or any other result, and the institution applies its own current rules.
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 Iowa, The 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 Iowa, The. We source and document possible candidates for program review and do not guarantee placement or approval.
