Start with the current Keiser University DNP requirements

As of the July 21, 2026 roster check, CCNE accreditation records include a DNP program at Keiser University. Accreditation answers the inclusion question. Your current catalog and placement office must answer the separate questions about entry route, specialty, deadlines, and site approval.

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.

Make the scholarly project the placement spine

The scholarly project turns a practice question into an approved change and a measurable evaluation. That work needs more than an address. The site must offer the relevant population, operational access, and enough support to carry the project through. Hospitals, ambulatory practices, public health teams, long-term care settings, and community programs can fit when the project and program rules align.

A willing professional is not automatically an eligible project mentor. The candidate needs experience that matches the project plus whatever education, licensure, independence, and conflict standards Keiser University currently applies. Our screen organizes that evidence for review without claiming to decide eligibility for the school.

Map supervised practice hours before sourcing

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 Keiser University to confirm the student's remaining requirement and build the placement request from that answer.

For a direct-care pathway, the plan may require a board-certified nurse practitioner or physician in the student's population focus. Systems and leadership hours may call for a different practice expert and setting. The DNP clinical hours guide explains the cumulative post-baccalaureate framework without assigning a school-specific total that the evidence does not support.

Build an approval-ready match in Florida

The directory places the school in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, which gives the search a useful geographic starting point. It does not establish where a student may complete hours. Confirm state authorization and location rules, then screen each site for course fit, mentor eligibility, conflicts, and willingness to complete the required paperwork.

The DNP placement guide for Florida 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.

An approval-ready file identifies the proposed person's role, credentials, site, availability, and connection to the planned work. We assemble those facts for Keiser University's review. Any affiliation contract, compliance item, background check, authorization decision, or additional form remains under the program's process.

What to confirm before outreach begins

  • Your exact DNP pathway and practicum course
  • The remaining approved practice hours shown by your program
  • Whether the need is a project mentor, direct-care preceptor, systems mentor, or a combination
  • Required credentials and disallowed relationships
  • Approved state, setting, population, and project parameters
  • Submission deadline and all site or preceptor forms

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.

Questions

Frequently asked

Does Keiser University approve the preceptor or project mentor?

Keiser University 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.

How many DNP practice hours does Keiser University require?

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 Keiser University degree audit and handbook rather than relying on a generic number.

Can you find both a DNP project mentor and a clinical preceptor?

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.

Are you affiliated with Keiser University?

No. PreceptorDNP is an independent placement service. We do not represent Keiser University, and we cannot guarantee that the school will approve a proposed mentor, preceptor, or site.
