We help DNP students enrolled at West Virginia University 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.
The CCNE identified an accredited DNP program at West Virginia University when this directory was verified on July 21, 2026. That evidence supports inclusion here, but it does not establish a specific pathway, specialty, placement policy, or deadline. Confirm those details in your current handbook or with the field placement office before anyone begins outreach.
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.
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 West Virginia University currently applies. Our screen organizes that evidence for review without claiming to decide eligibility for the school.
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 West Virginia 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.
Start with the student's approved geography, not an assumption based on the campus address in Morgantown. A site in West Virginia 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.
The DNP placement guide for West Virginia 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.
We organize the candidate's setting, role, credentials, availability, and relationship to the project before submission. That gives West Virginia 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.
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.
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.
PreceptorDNP is not affiliated with or endorsed by West Virginia University and has no university authority to approve a site. Submitting a matching request begins candidate sourcing only; it does not guarantee placement, paperwork completion, or school approval.
West Virginia 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.
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 West Virginia University 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 West Virginia University, and we cannot guarantee that the school will approve a proposed mentor, preceptor, or site.
