DNP students at The College of St. Scholastica can use our independent search support for project mentors, clinical preceptors, and practicum sites. We work from the student's confirmed course rules, while the school keeps final authority over every candidate and site.
The directory evidence confirms the DNP listing, but it is not a substitute for the current catalog, handbook, or placement instructions. Check the official school website before relying on a pathway, specialty, hour total, or approval process.
The CCNE identified an accredited DNP program at The College of St. Scholastica when this directory was verified on July 21, 2026. That evidence supports inclusion here, but it does not establish a specific pathway, specialty, placement policy, or deadline. Confirm those details in your current handbook or with the field placement office before anyone begins outreach.
Begin with the course number, term dates, required practice setting, mentor or preceptor credentials, location limits, and every form your program expects. If the course includes both a scholarly project and direct-care practice, separate those needs so each proposed person and site can be evaluated for the work they will actually supervise.
Project-site fit begins with the approved practice problem. A student needs a setting that can support the proposed intervention, provide appropriate access, and permit evaluation of the result. Depending on the question, that may be a health system, clinic, public agency, long-term care organization, or community service rather than a traditional clinical rotation site.
The project mentor must fit both the proposed work and The College of St. Scholastica's current credential rules. A DNP-prepared nurse, physician, nurse executive, quality leader, or another qualified practice expert may fit in some programs, but the title alone never establishes eligibility. We screen for role alignment and send the documented candidate to the program for its own review.
At least 1,000 supervised post-baccalaureate practice hours are part of AACN's DNP framework, but that is not a school-specific course total. Prior qualifying master's hours and the hours assigned to the DNP pathway vary. Ask The College of St. Scholastica to confirm the student's remaining requirement and build the placement request from that answer.
Direct-care practice and systems practice do not always call for the same supervisor. Population-focused care may need a board-certified nurse practitioner or physician, while leadership or quality work may fit another qualified expert. Use the DNP clinical hours guide for the cumulative framework, then apply the program's current role criteria.
Start with the student's approved geography, not an assumption based on the campus address in Duluth. A site in Minnesota or another authorized location still has to meet the course objectives, support the intended work, and provide an eligible mentor who will participate in the school's review process.
The DNP placement guide for Minnesota describes the wider mix of project settings and supervised practice sites. Use it for search context, then apply the exact rules confirmed by the program.
We organize the candidate's setting, role, credentials, availability, and relationship to the project before submission. That gives The College of St. Scholastica a complete proposal to evaluate. It does not replace an affiliation agreement, compliance review, background requirement, state authorization check, or any other step the school requires.
Recheck every item against the documents for the student's actual term because catalog and placement instructions can change. The official source links below are the starting point. Our search follows the requirements supplied for this program and does not import another university's rules.
Once the current requirements are clear, a search request should include the course, dates, approved location, setting, population focus, project topic, and school forms. The placement process uses those facts to screen candidates before the program performs its own review.
PreceptorDNP is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by The College of St. Scholastica. A request starts a search, not a guarantee of placement or approval. Use the matching form when your current program requirements are ready.
The College of St. Scholastica makes its own approval decisions. We identify and document a candidate around the current requirements you provide, then the program reviews the person, site, and paperwork.
AACN sets a floor of at least 1,000 supervised post-baccalaureate practice hours, but the total and treatment of prior qualifying hours varies by program. Confirm your current The College of St. Scholastica degree audit and handbook rather than relying on a generic number.
Yes, when the current course requirements call for both roles. We screen each candidate for the work that person will supervise and submit the match for program approval.
No. PreceptorDNP is an independent placement service. We do not represent The College of St. Scholastica, and we cannot guarantee that the school will approve a proposed mentor, preceptor, or site.
