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 Texas Woman's University. Confirm each of those details with the current program.

Official Texas Woman's University sources checked July 21, 2026 support the MSN and post-graduate certificate pathway record. Public program evidence answers whether the pathway is represented here, but the program must answer the separate questions about objectives, geography, hours, eligibility, and approval.

• Official AGACNP source 1, post-graduate certificate: Official page explicitly identifies the AGACNP specialty (Certificates | Texas Woman's University | BOLDLY GO).
• Official AGACNP source 2, MSN: Official page explicitly identifies the AGACNP specialty (Adult/Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (AGACNP) | TWU).
• Official AGACNP source 3, post-graduate certificate: Official page explicitly identifies the AGACNP specialty (Post-Master's Certificate: Nurse Practitioner (Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner) | Texas Woman's University Catalog).

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.

Keep the adult-gerontology acute-care population at the center of the request. The setting needs enough complex and unstable adult care to support the approved competencies. Routine primary care, a general family practice, or an unrelated outpatient role cannot substitute for that clinical spine.

High-acuity opportunities often sit in ICU, progressive care, emergency, inpatient medicine, and specialty consult services. The best category depends on the gap in the student's approved plan. We do not promise that a named service, facility, or site will satisfy Texas Woman's University before review.

The published pathway set is MSN and post-graduate certificate. Before sourcing, separate that public fact from the student's individual clinical need. Confirm the active course, required outcomes, remaining approved hours, site boundaries, and candidate credentials with the program.

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.

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 Texas Woman's 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.

A prospective preceptor is generally a board-certified acute-care nurse practitioner or an appropriately licensed physician whose current inpatient or acute role matches the objectives. Certification, licensure, experience, specialty, site, and relationship to the student may all matter, but Texas Woman's University decides which candidate is eligible. We document the candidate for that review rather than declaring approval.

Geography matters because high-acuity services cluster unevenly, but the school address does not settle where a practicum can occur. Confirm approved states and travel limits, then compare the remaining objectives with the available ICU, step-down, emergency, hospitalist, and specialty landscape.

Our AGACNP placement guide for Texas explains where acute-care roles tend to cluster across the state. It does not establish a clinical boundary or acceptance rule for this school.

• 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

A strong packet connects evidence to the course. Include the proposed preceptor's credentials and acute role, the site's service and patient mix, the expected experiences, dates, schedule, and every program form the student has received. Missing rules should be confirmed, not inferred from another school.

A search request works best when it includes the active course, dates, location limits, acute setting, adult-gerontology population, competencies, hour need, preceptor rules, and approval documents. See how the process works, then bring the current program materials into the first conversation.

Nothing on this page is issued by Texas Woman's University. AGACNP Preceptor independently looks for candidates against the requirements the student supplies, and the program retains full approval authority. A search may not produce an available or approved match.
