Start with the current Stockton University DNP requirements

We included Stockton 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

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 Stockton University currently applies. Our screen organizes that evidence for review without claiming to decide eligibility for the school.

Map supervised practice hours before sourcing

The national DNP framework starts with at least 1,000 supervised post-baccalaureate practice hours. A student's remaining hours cannot be calculated from that floor alone because programs differ on pathway design and qualifying prior master's work. Use Stockton University's current degree audit and course plan to establish the approved balance before a search begins.

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.

Build an approval-ready match in New Jersey

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

For the broader project-site and practice landscape, read the DNP placement guide for New Jersey. It adds geographic context without changing the school's authority over the student's course and site.

We organize the candidate's setting, role, credentials, availability, and relationship to the project before submission. That gives Stockton University 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.

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

Policies can change after a catalog or accreditation listing is published. Use the official school site linked below to locate the current handbook and confirm each item with your program. We will work from the requirements you provide and will not substitute a rule from another school.

Questions

Frequently asked

Does Stockton University approve the preceptor or project mentor?

Stockton 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 Stockton 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 Stockton 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 Stockton University?

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