When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, independent sourcing support is available to Yale University students. We organize a candidate around the current instructions, while Yale University makes every approval decision and its accreditation listing proves no school-specific placement rule.
This snapshot identifies the institution and the accreditation evidence used for directory inclusion. It does not say that Yale University 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.
The CCNE source included Yale 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.
Translate the current handbook and course instructions into a search brief before outreach. The brief should state the pathway, course, applied objective, dates, approved state, setting, population or project focus, supervisor criteria, site documents, compliance needs, and review process. Unconfirmed assumptions should be marked for the program to resolve.
When a student's confirmed course is an NP practicum, the match may center on population focus and supervised patient care. A program can evaluate the proposed clinician's certification, license, experience, practice site, patient access, availability, and willingness to complete forms. Accreditation does not tell us whether Yale University offers that course or which clinician types it accepts.
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 Yale University offers either pathway.
The word practicum can describe very different work. Informatics may involve technology and workflow; public or community health may involve population initiatives; quality, care coordination, and clinical nurse leader work may sit in other systems settings. The MSN pathway guide explains these distinctions without claiming that Yale University offers all or any of them.
MSN practice requirements cannot be reduced to one reliable number. Hours vary with the program, pathway, course, and catalog year, and some courses may use field experiences that differ in purpose. Ask Yale University to confirm the student's current requirement in writing, then use that answer rather than an online comparison or a figure from another pathway.
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 Yale University's Orange 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.
Use the Connecticut MSN placement overview to think through local setting categories and practical geography. It does not establish an authorization or approval rule for Yale University; only the current program can do that.
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 Yale University review the request but cannot replace its affiliation, compliance, authorization, background, or approval process.
Before a candidate is contacted, verify the pathway, course, practicum purpose, hours, term dates, location authorization, eligible setting, supervisor role, required license or certification, experience standard, affiliation process, compliance checklist, forms, conflicts, and school deadline. A missing requirement can change who or what counts as a useful match.
If the confirmed course calls for an outside person or setting, send the pathway, objectives, dates, geography, role criteria, site criteria, and forms through the matching request. Our process guide explains how candidate screening supports, but never replaces, the program's approval review.
This is independent placement support, not a service operated, approved, or endorsed by Yale University. We have no authority to accept a person or site and cannot promise that a suitable candidate will be available or that a proposal will pass program and site review. Final decisions remain outside our control.
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. Yale 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 Yale 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.
