When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, we can help students at William Carey University 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.
The directory record answers one narrow question: why William Carey University belongs in this MSN roster. It cannot establish concentration availability, modality, mentor qualifications, state authorization, hour requirements, or the institution's placement process. Confirm each of those points directly for the student's catalog year.
The CCNE source included William Carey University in its accredited master's nursing records when this roster was checked on July 21, 2026. That establishes the degree-level accreditation used here, not an NP concentration, education track, leadership track, informatics option, public health focus, exact hour total, modality, deadline, or placement policy.
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.
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 William Carey University.
A nurse educator practicum can focus on curriculum, teaching, staff development, simulation, or learner evaluation, while a leadership practicum can focus on operations, quality, administration, or organizational change. Each calls for relevant expertise rather than a generic clinical title. These are conditional pathway examples and not claims about the programs available at William Carey University.
Informatics may call for a nurse informaticist or clinical systems professional working with analytics, implementation, workflow, or technology. Public health, community health, clinical nurse leader, care coordination, quality, and other pathways can point to still different mentors and settings. Use the MSN pathway guide to frame the distinction, then let the student's current program define the eligible role.
The safe answer to the hours question is program confirmation. Required MSN hours vary by pathway, course, school, and catalog year, and the accreditation record provides no total. Have William Carey University identify the controlling handbook, current degree audit, course instructions, and approved distribution before building a placement request around any number.
The MSN hours guide can help a student ask better questions about pathway and course structure. It cannot calculate a William Carey University requirement. That calculation belongs to the current program, using the student's active curriculum, degree audit, and course sequence.
The accreditation directory locates William Carey University in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, but a campus address does not establish where a student may complete an experience. Confirm state authorization and approved geography first. A proposed local or out-of-state site must still fit the course, support the required work, provide an eligible supervisor, and participate in the program's review.
The statewide MSN guide for Mississippi can support a local search plan. Apply the exact pathway, course, geography, role, and site criteria confirmed by the program before treating any setting as a viable proposal.
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 William Carey University and the proposed site.
A complete search brief names the student's actual pathway and course and records the approved experience type, hours, dates, location, setting, person, credentials, objectives, forms, conflicts, affiliation steps, compliance items, and submission sequence. Confirm any blank with the field placement office rather than filling it with another school's practice.
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.
MSNPreceptor works independently and is not affiliated with or endorsed by William Carey University. School names are used descriptively so students can find the right planning page. A sourcing request creates no guarantee of a candidate, placement, approval, graduation, licensure, or other academic or professional outcome.
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. William Carey 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 William Carey University. We source and document possible candidates for program review and do not guarantee placement or approval.
