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 Oakland University. Confirm each of those details with the current program.

The directory uses the official AGACNP pages available on July 21, 2026. They support MSN as the pathway set for this record. Any detail that is not explicit in those pages remains unclaimed and must be confirmed with the program.

• Official AGACNP source 1, MSN: Current official academic program listing identifies the AGACNP master's pathway.

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.

Clinical setting and clinical role have to align. An inpatient address can still be a poor AGACNP match if the preceptor's work or patient mix does not meet the objectives. We compare ICU, step-down, emergency, hospitalist, and inpatient specialty options against the student's confirmed course request.

Official evidence currently supports MSN. The degree or certificate name is useful context, yet it cannot stand in for the clinical checklist. We ask the student to provide the current requirements before any potential preceptor is presented.

Use a one-page clinical brief to explain the remaining need: course, dates, adult-gerontology population, acuity, setting, required experiences, and credential criteria. A specific brief respects the preceptor's time and gives the program a clearer proposal to evaluate.

The hour plan must come from the student's program record. Nationally, NTF recommends a 750-hour direct patient care minimum for an NP population track, and the certification bodies publish a 500-hour faculty-supervised eligibility floor. Neither figure is presented here as Oakland University's rule. Confirm the exact current requirement before sourcing.

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.

The directory lists Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. That location is a planning anchor, not a statement about where students may complete clinical work. Confirm the student's authorized geography first. Search radius, travel, licensure, facility access, and program rules can all affect which acute-care opportunities are realistic.

Pair this record with the AGACNP placement guide for Michigan 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

Document the clinical match in the program's own terms. The file should show candidate qualifications, adult-gerontology acute-care role, site context, objective alignment, dates, and availability. The school can still require separate site review, agreements, compliance items, or other steps that we cannot approve.

Do the confirmation work before outreach: course and dates, approved location, clinical objectives, setting and acuity, remaining hours, candidate credentials, and required forms. We use those facts to source carefully and submit any potential match for program review.

AGACNP Preceptor has no affiliation with Oakland University. We help students search for potential acute-care preceptors and sites, subject to the program's current rules and final approval. No page, conversation, or submitted form creates a guarantee.
