DNP students at Goshen College 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.
Treat this as an identity and accreditation snapshot, not as a statement of school policy. The official school website and the student's current course documents remain the sources for pathways, deadlines, hours, and placement rules.
The CCNE identified an accredited DNP program at Goshen College 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 Goshen College'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.
AACN describes the DNP as requiring at least 1,000 supervised post-baccalaureate practice hours. The total assigned within a particular pathway, and the treatment of qualifying prior master's hours, varies by program. Do not use a generic number as Goshen College's requirement. Confirm your own degree audit and course sequence first, then source against the remaining approved need.
Separate the hours by purpose before selecting a person. A clinical population focus can require an eligible NP or physician, while a systems, leadership, or project experience can require a different mentor profile. Our DNP clinical hours guide covers the national framework, not an invented total for this school.
A local search can start in Goshen and extend to eligible sites elsewhere in Indiana when the program and state authorization rules allow it. Geography is only one filter. The proposed site must also support the course objectives, the mentor must meet current credential and conflict rules, and both parties must be willing to complete the school's approval documents.
The DNP placement guide for Indiana 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 Goshen College 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.
If a suitable mentor or practicum site is still missing after you confirm the requirements, send us the course, dates, location, setting, population focus, project topic, and approval documents. Our placement process starts with that evidence, and the program retains final authority over every match.
PreceptorDNP is not affiliated with or endorsed by Goshen College, and nothing on this page is issued on the school's behalf. We independently search for candidates and cannot promise that a person or site will be found or approved. When the confirmed requirements are available, request a match to begin the search.
Goshen College 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 Goshen College 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 Goshen College, and we cannot guarantee that the school will approve a proposed mentor, preceptor, or site.
