This evidence snapshot should not be stretched into a school-policy claim. It confirms a nationally accredited master's nursing degree at University of Washington on the verification date, while all questions about available pathways, practicum structure, delivery format, assistance, and approvals remain for the current program.

The accreditation fact for University of Washington 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.

Direct patient-care learning may need a population-matched nurse practitioner or physician plus a setting that can support the intended encounters and supervision. A title alone is not enough: the program may review credentials, active practice, site access, conflicts, and documentation. This conditional example does not establish an NP offering or policy at University of Washington.

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 Washington offers either pathway.

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.

There is no universal MSN practicum total across schools and pathways. Required hours vary by program, pathway, course, and catalog year. Do not use a number from another institution, an older handbook, or a different concentration as University of Washington's requirement. Confirm the current handbook, degree audit, course instructions, and field placement office before calculating the request.

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.

Use Seattle, Washington as directory context only. A student's actual search area should come from current University of Washington 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.

Our Washington 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.

Treat candidate sourcing and school approval as separate stages. We can organize role, credentials, site information, dates, objectives, availability, and requested documents for review. University of Washington alone decides whether the person and organization meet current course rules and whether any contracts, compliance steps, or additional forms are complete.

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.

Independent support is most useful after the student turns the current handbook and course instructions into a precise request. See how sourcing works, then use the request form with the course, pathway, location, setting, role, dates, and approval documents the program supplied.

Nothing on this page is issued by University of Washington. MSNPreceptor is an independent service, is not affiliated with or endorsed by the institution, and cannot approve the student's preceptor, mentor, site, or paperwork. We also cannot guarantee that a match will be found or accepted.
