Oregon Health & Science University DNP program snapshot

  • Program: Doctor of Nursing Practice
  • School: Oregon Health & Science University
  • Directory location: Portland, Oregon
  • National accreditation evidence: CCNE
  • Roster verified: July 21, 2026

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.

Start with the current Oregon Health & Science University DNP requirements

We included Oregon Health & Science University because the current CCNE directory lists its Doctor of Nursing Practice program. The listing was checked July 21, 2026 and should not be stretched into an unsupported claim about track design or placement procedure. Verify those items directly with the program.

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

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.

Mentor selection follows the project, then the program's current qualification rules. Relevant experience may sit with a DNP-prepared nurse, physician, executive, quality professional, or another practice expert, yet no credential should be assumed acceptable at Oregon Health & Science University. We document the proposed mentor's role and let the program make that determination.

Map supervised practice hours before sourcing

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 Oregon Health & Science University's requirement. Confirm your own degree audit and course sequence first, then source against the remaining approved need.

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.

Build an approval-ready match in Oregon

Start with the student's approved geography, not an assumption based on the campus address in Portland. A site in Oregon 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.

Use our DNP placement guide for Oregon alongside this school page when planning geography. It identifies common site categories, while the student's program still decides what is eligible.

Before the proposal reaches Oregon Health & Science University, 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.

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.

Independent DNP placement support for Oregon Health & Science University students

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.

Questions

Frequently asked

Does Oregon Health & Science University approve the preceptor or project mentor?

Oregon Health & Science 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 Oregon Health & Science 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 Oregon Health & Science 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 Oregon Health & Science University?

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