• Approval authority: the student's current program

A published FNP page confirms a current pathway, not every operational detail around clinical education. Use the links below as the source record, then verify the student's course documents before contacting a preceptor or site.

We verified the listed MSN evidence on July 22, 2026. Each link belongs to the institution or its official catalog and identifies the FNP specialty. The student's present course materials still control the clinical request.

• Official FNP source 1, MSN: The current official nursing study plan identifies the FNP MSN 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.

Across-the-lifespan reasoning connects pediatric, adult, older adult, preventive, chronic, and reproductive care. The student should plan from the objectives rather than assume a fixed national rotation pattern. The current program retains the final decision on the required populations and setting fit.

A practical search may consider several parts of the primary care landscape: family practice, community health, pediatrics, internal medicine, older adult care, reproductive or women's health, school health, and approved focused practices. We do not promise that a named site will be accepted before review.

The published pathway set is MSN. Before sourcing, separate that public fact from the student's individual clinical need. Confirm the active course, required outcomes, patient populations, remaining approved hours, location boundaries, and candidate credentials.

Course objectives are the bridge between a pathway label and a workable placement. Pair each objective with the population, setting, primary care activity, and supervision it requires, then ask the program whether the proposed combination is eligible before treating it as final.

National figures are context, not a California State University-Fresno requirement. The 2022 NTF standards recommend at least 750 direct patient care hours for an NP population focus. ANCC and AANPCB FNP certification eligibility materials use at least 500 faculty-supervised clinical hours. Programs may set different totals and distributions, so confirm the student's exact requirement.

Use the FNP clinical hours guide for national context and the preceptor requirements guide for screening questions. Neither guide replaces the program's current instructions.

A useful candidate combines a relevant license or certification with day-to-day work in family practice, pediatrics, internal medicine, adult or older adult care, community health, reproductive health, or another approved primary care setting. Only California State University-Fresno can accept the proposed match.

Use Fresno as directory context only. Residence, state authorization, licensure, commuting limits, and course instructions may produce a different search radius. No city or state reference on this page promises availability.

Use the FNP placement guide for California for broader family practice, community health, pediatric, adult, older adult, and reproductive health context. Any actual candidate and site must still pass the student's current program review.

• The exact course, clinical objectives, term dates, and remaining approved hours
• The approved geography, lifespan populations, primary care setting, and required experiences
• The proposed clinician's license, certification, specialty, primary care role, and availability
• The site's practice setting, patient mix, and opportunities tied to the objectives
• Every current preceptor, site, compliance, and submission form supplied by the program

Document the match in the program's own terms. The file should show candidate qualifications, primary care role, population and site context, objective alignment, dates, and availability. The school can require additional review or documents that we cannot approve.

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

We do not represent California State University-Fresno and have no authority to approve a clinician, site, schedule, or clinical plan. Our independent role is limited to searching and documenting a possible match. Availability, review time, and the final program decision cannot be guaranteed.
