When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, York College of Pennsylvania 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 snapshot identifies the institution and the accreditation evidence used for directory inclusion. It does not say that York College of Pennsylvania 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.
Our July 21, 2026 roster check found York College of Pennsylvania in the CCNE accreditation evidence for master's nursing education. Accreditation supports the institution's presence in this directory. It does not identify the student's pathway, course objectives, supervisor credentials, practicum setting, location authorization, or sourcing responsibility.
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.
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 York College of Pennsylvania offers an NP concentration, so the student must first confirm the pathway and its current rules.
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 York College of Pennsylvania offers either pathway.
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 York College of Pennsylvania identify the controlling handbook, current degree audit, course instructions, and approved distribution before building a placement request around any number.
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 York, Pennsylvania as directory context only. A student's actual search area should come from current York College of Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania 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. York College of Pennsylvania alone decides whether the person and organization meet current course rules and whether any contracts, compliance steps, or additional forms are complete.
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.
Once the current requirements are clear, our placement process uses them to identify and screen a possible preceptor, mentor, or site. We share candidate information for program review rather than presenting a match as approved. A request can begin at the matching form after the student has the controlling course documents.
MSNPreceptor is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by York College of Pennsylvania. We do not act for the institution, decide eligibility, or guarantee that a preceptor, mentor, or site will be found or approved. The program and proposed site retain their own review authority, and no outcome is promised.
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 Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania. We source and document possible candidates for program review and do not guarantee placement or approval.
