This snapshot reports only what the linked official program evidence supports. It does not assign a delivery format, clinical sequence, hour total, placement responsibility, preceptor rule, or approval timeline to Misericordia University. Confirm each of those details with the current program.

As of July 21, 2026, the official links below identify MSN for the AGACNP specialty at Misericordia University. That supports directory inclusion and pathway labeling only. It does not authorize us to infer a practicum rule from a degree name.

• Official AGACNP source 1, MSN: Official 2026 launch notice confirms the current AGACNP master's program.

These citations are included for verification, not as an endorsement of our service. Read the current official page and ask the program to confirm any requirement that affects the proposed preceptor or site.

A suitable AGACNP experience is defined by acute clinical work, not by a convenient job title. Adults and older adults should present with unstable or complex conditions that require acute assessment, diagnosis, management, transitions, or critical-care reasoning. The course objectives determine whether a particular service fits.

Depending on the objectives, the search may include ICU or critical care, step-down or progressive care, emergency care, hospitalist or inpatient medicine, trauma and surgical services, or an inpatient specialty such as cardiology, pulmonology, or nephrology. No setting is automatically acceptable. The program must decide whether the patient mix, acuity, clinician role, and available activities fit the course.

For this record, the official evidence names MSN. We use that verified label only to orient the request. The student's own course documents must supply the setting, population, competencies, dates, geography, and preceptor criteria.

Course objectives are the bridge between a pathway label and a workable placement. Pair each objective with the patient population, acuity, setting, and supervised activity it requires, then ask the program whether the proposed combination is eligible before treating it as final.

Two national benchmarks are often confused: the NTF recommendation of at least 750 direct patient care hours per NP population track and the 500 faculty-supervised clinical hour floor used in certification eligibility. A student's program can require or distribute hours differently. Ask Misericordia University to confirm the actual AGACNP total and approved balance.

Use the AGACNP clinical hours guide for national context and the preceptor requirements guide for screening questions. Neither guide replaces the program's current instructions.

Look for an acute-care NP or physician whose real clinical practice supports the required patient acuity and activities. Then compare that candidate with the current credential and site rules. A strong clinical match is still a proposal until the program reviews it.

Use Dallas as a directory reference only. The student's residence, state authorization, licensure context, commuting limits, and program instructions can produce a different search area. No city or state mention on this page promises site availability.

Pair this record with the AGACNP placement guide for Pennsylvania when thinking about travel and setting supply. The guide is not a list of guaranteed sites, and the program remains the approval authority.

• The exact course, clinical objectives, term dates, and remaining approved hours
• The approved geography, adult-gerontology population, patient acuity, and setting
• The proposed clinician's license, certification, specialty, acute role, and availability
• The site's service line, patient mix, and opportunities tied to the objectives
• Every current preceptor, site, compliance, and submission form supplied by the program

An approval-ready proposal identifies the clinician's role, credentials, specialty, practice setting, patient population, availability, and connection to the course objectives. It also carries the forms supplied by the student. This organization supports review but does not replace any contract, compliance step, authorization check, or decision the program may require.

Once the current checklist is clear, send the course, term dates, approved geography, required setting, patient population, remaining hours, candidate criteria, and forms. Our placement process uses that brief to look for a possible match before the program evaluates it.

This is independent placement support, not a school service or endorsement. We can source and organize a candidate file for Misericordia University to review, but we cannot promise placement, acceptance, contracts, credentialing, or a timeline.
