We help DNP students enrolled at University of Kansas find program-approvable project mentors, preceptors, and practicum sites. The school makes every approval decision, and our independent role is to source a match around the requirements you confirm.
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.
We included University of Kansas 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.
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 University of Kansas'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.
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 University of Kansas to confirm the student's remaining requirement and build the placement request from that answer.
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.
A local search can start in Kansas City and extend to eligible sites elsewhere in Kansas 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.
Use our DNP placement guide for Kansas 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 University of Kansas, 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.
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.
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 an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by University of Kansas. A request starts a search, not a guarantee of placement or approval. Use the matching form when your current program requirements are ready.
University of Kansas 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 University of Kansas 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 University of Kansas, and we cannot guarantee that the school will approve a proposed mentor, preceptor, or site.
