When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, University of St. Thomas - TX 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 University of St. Thomas - TX; it does not answer which pathways are active, how courses are delivered, how many hours apply, or who handles placement.
As of the July 21, 2026 source review, CCNE records supported an accredited master's nursing degree at University of St. Thomas - TX. 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.
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 St. Thomas - TX 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 University of St. Thomas - TX materials can establish whether either pathway exists and what qualifications apply.
An informatics experience can center on clinical systems, analytics, implementation, technology adoption, or workflow and may need a nurse informaticist or another approved systems professional. Public health, community practice, care coordination, quality, clinical nurse leader, and other pathways use their own objectives. The MSN specialties overview helps compare roles without assigning one to this school.
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 St. Thomas - TX handbook and degree audit, plus any course-specific placement instructions, instead of treating a generic number as a school rule.
Use the MSN practicum hours overview for a general framework, not for a school-specific figure. A useful sourcing brief records the confirmed hours for this course, their learning purpose, the acceptable setting, how supervision is documented, and whether separate experiences need separate approvals.
Start the geographic plan with the student's authorized location, not an assumption drawn from University of St. Thomas - TX's Houston 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.
Read the MSN preceptor and practicum guide for Texas for geographic planning. Its examples are general and do not turn a person or site into an approved University of St. Thomas - TX placement.
A complete proposal connects the current course to a specific person and setting. Document the candidate's credentials, role, experience, site, availability, supervision plan, and willingness to complete school paperwork. This preparation helps University of St. Thomas - TX review the request but cannot replace its affiliation, compliance, authorization, background, or approval process.
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.
Our role is limited to independent candidate sourcing and documentation. MSNPreceptor is not affiliated with or endorsed by University of St. Thomas - TX, 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. University of St. Thomas - TX 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 St. Thomas - TX. We source and document possible candidates for program review and do not guarantee placement or approval.
