When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, we help Youngstown State University students identify and document a candidate for program review. Youngstown State University controls approval, and accreditation alone does not establish the pathway, hours, placement policy, or site rules.
This evidence snapshot should not be stretched into a school-policy claim. It confirms a nationally accredited master's nursing degree at Youngstown State University on the verification date, while all questions about available pathways, practicum structure, delivery format, assistance, and approvals remain for the current program.
The CCNE source included Youngstown State 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.
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 Youngstown State University without its current instructions.
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 Youngstown State University materials can establish whether either pathway exists and what qualifications apply.
An informatics experience can center on clinical systems, analytics, implementation, technology adoption, or workflow and may need a nurse informaticist or another approved systems professional. Public health, community practice, care coordination, quality, clinical nurse leader, and other pathways use their own objectives. The MSN specialties overview helps compare roles without assigning one to this school.
A master's nursing degree does not carry one universal field-hour requirement. The student's pathway, individual course, curriculum version, transfer history, and catalog year can affect what remains. Confirm the current Youngstown State University handbook and degree audit, plus any course-specific placement instructions, instead of treating a generic number as a school rule.
Read how MSN practicum hours vary, then verify the active course with Youngstown State University. Sourcing should begin only after the program confirms the amount, experience type, approved geography, supervisor role, setting, and forms attached to the requirement.
A school location and a practicum location are separate facts. Although Youngstown State University is listed in Youngstown, Ohio, 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 Ohio. 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. Youngstown State University may separately require affiliation agreements, compliance checks, background items, insurance, or other review steps.
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.
Nothing on this page is issued by Youngstown 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. Youngstown 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 Youngstown State University. We source and document possible candidates for program review and do not guarantee placement or approval.
