AGACNP preceptor support for University of Southern Indiana students

• Program: Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner
• School: University of Southern Indiana
• Directory location: Evansville, Indiana
• Verified pathways: MSN, DNP, and post-graduate certificate
• 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

Current official pages support the program and pathway labels below. They do not establish the student's exact curriculum or the school's clinical approval process, so the search should pause until those requirements are confirmed directly with the program.

Official University of Southern Indiana sources checked July 21, 2026 support the MSN, DNP, 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 (Post-Master's Certificate in Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner - University of Southern Indiana).
• Official AGACNP source 2, MSN: Official page explicitly identifies the AGACNP specialty (Master of Science in Nursing - Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner - University of Southern Indiana).
• Official AGACNP source 3, DNP: Official page explicitly identifies the AGACNP specialty (Doctor of Nursing Practice, Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner, Acute (BSN to DNP) - University of Southern Indiana).

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 MSN, 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.

A useful clinical request names what the student must actually do under supervision. Define the target population, acuity, care setting, procedures or skills, and expected level of participation. That detail lets a prospective preceptor assess fit without making promises on the program's behalf.

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 University of Southern Indiana'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 University of Southern Indiana in Evansville, Indiana. 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.

For wider geographic context, read the AGACNP placement guide for Indiana. It describes the state's acute-care landscape without assigning a policy to University of Southern Indiana or claiming that a named hospital accepts students.

• 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

Give the program a proposal it can evaluate without guessing: who the clinician is, where the person practices, which adults and older adults are served, what the student would do, when supervision is available, and which current forms apply. Formal review remains entirely with the program.

The first useful step is a complete clinical brief rather than a broad request for any preceptor. Share the student's approved requirements through the matching form. We can then search for acute-care fit without claiming authority we do not have.

AGACNP Preceptor has no affiliation with University of Southern Indiana. 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.
