When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, we help York College of CUNY students identify and document a candidate for program review. York College of CUNY controls approval, and accreditation alone does not establish the pathway, hours, placement policy, or site rules.
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 York College of CUNY; it does not answer which pathways are active, how courses are delivered, how many hours apply, or who handles placement.
The ACEN source included York College of CUNY 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.
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.
For a verified direct-care NP course, the supervisor profile often differs from a general mentor profile. Population fit, board certification, current practice, licensure, patient mix, supervision capacity, and the site's ability to support course objectives can all affect review. These are planning considerations only and should not be attributed to York College of CUNY without its current instructions.
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 York College of CUNY.
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 York College of CUNY offers all or any of them.
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 York College of CUNY's requirement. Confirm the current handbook, degree audit, course instructions, and field placement office before calculating the request.
Our MSN hours resource shows why NP, education, leadership, informatics, public health, and other experiences should not share one assumed total. The current program must still state what this student needs and which portion a proposed person and site would supervise.
Use Jamaica, New York as directory context only. A student's actual search area should come from current York College of CUNY 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 New York 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.
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 York College of CUNY and the proposed site.
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.
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 is not affiliated with or endorsed by York College of CUNY and does not speak for its nursing program. Candidate sourcing is not school approval. We cannot guarantee availability, placement, affiliation completion, acceptance, course progression, or any other result, and the institution applies its own current rules.
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. York College of CUNY 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 York College of CUNY. We source and document possible candidates for program review and do not guarantee placement or approval.
