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 Wichita State University. Confirm each of those details with the current program.

The source set was checked on July 21, 2026. It identifies DNP and post-graduate certificate AGACNP evidence for Wichita State University. Source language can change, so save the current program instructions that govern the student's term and ask the program to resolve anything the public page leaves open.

• Official AGACNP source 1, DNP: Current official program page identifies the AGACNP DNP.
• Official AGACNP source 2, post-graduate certificate: Current official nursing page lists the AGACNP certificate option.

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.

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.

For this record, the official evidence names DNP and post-graduate certificate. 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 Wichita State 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.

Preceptor screening asks two separate questions: is the clinician qualified for acute adult and older-adult care, and does the program permit that person for this course? We can gather licensure, certification, specialty, setting, and role details. Only Wichita State University can make the approval decision.

The directory lists Wichita State University in Wichita, Kansas. 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 Kansas 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

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.

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.

Nothing on this page is issued by Wichita State 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.
