When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, Wichita State University 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 evidence snapshot should not be stretched into a school-policy claim. It confirms a nationally accredited master's nursing degree at Wichita State University on the verification date, while all questions about available pathways, practicum structure, delivery format, assistance, and approvals remain for the current program.
As of the July 21, 2026 source review, CCNE records supported an accredited master's nursing degree at Wichita State University. 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.
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.
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 Wichita State University offers an NP concentration, so the student must first confirm the pathway and its current rules.
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 Wichita State University materials can establish whether either pathway exists and what qualifications apply.
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 Wichita State University.
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 Wichita State University'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.
A school location and a practicum location are separate facts. Although Wichita State University is listed in Wichita, Kansas, the student should verify state authorization, course geography, licensure considerations, and affiliation requirements before outreach. The selected person and organization must also support the confirmed objectives and approval process.
For broader setting context, review the MSN practicum guide for Kansas. 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.
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. Wichita State University 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.
The MSN placement workflow separates requirement review, candidate sourcing, documentation, and school approval. That sequence helps avoid asking the wrong professional or site to participate. After the current pathway and course rules are confirmed, request a match to start an independent search.
Nothing on this page is issued by Wichita State University. 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.
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. Wichita State University 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 Wichita State University. 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.
