• Program: Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner
• School: Seattle University
• Directory location: Seattle, Washington

• Official evidence checked: July 21, 2026
• Clinical population: adults and older adults with complex, acute, critical, or unstable conditions
• Approval authority: the student's current program

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

As of July 21, 2026, the official links below identify DNP and post-graduate certificate for the AGACNP specialty at Seattle 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, DNP: Official page explicitly identifies the AGACNP specialty (Nurse Practitioner, Adult-Gerontology Acute Care, DNP | All Programs | Academics | Seattle University).
• Official AGACNP source 2, post-graduate certificate: Official page explicitly identifies the AGACNP specialty (Nurse Practitioner, Adult-Gerontology Acute Care, Post-Master's & Post-Doc | All Programs | Academics | Seattle University).

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.

The right match gives the student supervised work with acute, critical, and medically complex adults and older adults. Population focus, acuity, and clinical tasks all matter. A program may define a place for adolescents, but that boundary must come from the student's current requirements rather than a generic assumption.

Potential settings include medical, surgical, cardiac, or neurologic intensive care; progressive care; emergency departments; hospitalist teams; and inpatient specialty services. A long-term acute care setting may also fit particular objectives. We screen the clinical substance first and leave formal eligibility to the program.

The record identifies DNP and post-graduate certificate. Those credential labels help route the inquiry, but they do not reveal the student's entry point, course sequence, remaining hours, or clinical dates. Bring the exact course and current plan of study into the search so a pathway label is never treated as a policy.

Translate each objective into observable acute-care work before outreach. One course may emphasize stabilization and diagnostic reasoning, another may emphasize critical-care management, procedures, specialty consultation, or transitions across levels of care. This objective map helps avoid a willing candidate whose daily role cannot support the required experience.

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 Seattle 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.

The clinician should actively practice in the acute or inpatient work the student needs. A matching board-certified acute-care NP or licensed physician is a reasonable search target, but credentials alone do not establish eligibility. The program reviews the person's role, background, site, and proposed supervision.

The directory lists Seattle University in Seattle, Washington. 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.

The AGACNP placement guide for Washington adds state-level context about acute and inpatient settings. Use it to frame the search, then apply the exact location and approval rules confirmed by the program.

• 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

Before submission, assemble the candidate's license and certification details, current acute role, site and service, population and acuity, schedule, and fit with each objective. The program may request additional documents or decline the proposal. We never treat a complete file as a guarantee.

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 Seattle University to review, but we cannot promise placement, acceptance, contracts, credentialing, or a timeline.
