Our role for Maryville University of St. Louis DNP students is specific: identify a mentor, preceptor, or practice site that fits the current requirements supplied by the student. The program reviews the proposal, and no match is represented as approved before that review is complete.
This snapshot answers why the school is in the directory. It does not assign an entry pathway, specialty, hour total, or placement policy that the evidence does not establish. Use the official school website and your current program materials to confirm those details.
As of the July 21, 2026 roster check, CCNE accreditation records include a DNP program at Maryville University of St. Louis. 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.
A DNP scholarly project needs a practice setting where the student can examine a real care or systems problem, introduce an approved change, and evaluate results. Suitable settings may include health systems, hospitals, clinics, public health programs, long-term care organizations, or community services. The right setting depends on the approved project question, access to the intended population, and the site's capacity to support the work.
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 Maryville University of St. Louis currently applies. Our screen organizes that evidence for review without claiming to decide eligibility for the school.
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 Maryville University of St. Louis's requirement. Confirm your own degree audit and course sequence first, then source against the remaining approved need.
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.
The directory places the school in St. Louis, Missouri, 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 Missouri 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.
Before the proposal reaches Maryville University of St. Louis, we collect the facts that commonly drive review: who the candidate is, where the work would occur, what the person would supervise, and when the experience is available. The school may still require contracts, compliance checks, authorization, or other documentation that only it can approve.
A prior term's instructions may no longer control the next placement cycle. Confirm the checklist with the current handbook or placement office, save the applicable forms, and send that version with the request. We do not fill gaps by borrowing policies from a different school.
Bring the current course documents into the search from the first step. We need the dates, geography, setting, population or systems focus, project question, credential rules, and submission forms. See how placement works; the final decision always remains with the program.
PreceptorDNP is not affiliated with or endorsed by Maryville University of St. Louis, 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.
Maryville University of St. Louis 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 Maryville University of St. Louis 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 Maryville University of St. Louis, and we cannot guarantee that the school will approve a proposed mentor, preceptor, or site.
