Plan a University of Phoenix placement in North Carolina

Current University program pages and licensure information do not include North Carolina for the online MSN/FNP or online MSN/PMHNP program. Treat that omission as a stop sign for placement outreach. Do not ask a North Carolina clinician or organization to reserve time unless current written University direction says the student's exact program, residence, and clinical state may proceed.

Phoenix nursing programs are approved only in selected states, and clinical hours are generally completed in the state where the student is enrolled as a resident. A different state requires prior Student Appeals approval. For North Carolina, obtain that decision before sourcing, not after a preceptor request has been assembled.

A promising introduction should be checked against the North Carolina Board of Nursing Nurse Practitioner before a Phoenix request is prepared. Verify the legal name, active license, advanced practice role, population focus, and any public restrictions. Next, compare those facts with the course objectives, patient population, and University preceptor criteria.

Useful search centers include Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Asheville, Wilmington, and Greenville. The Triangle, Charlotte, the Triad, the mountains, and the coastal plain should be treated as separate weekly search areas rather than one statewide pool.

AANP's May 2026 map classifies North Carolina as a restricted practice state. The category means state law restricts at least one element of NP practice and requires supervision, delegation, or team management for the regulated element. A student remains under the approved preceptor and site rules, with no independent authority.

State practice authority affects day-to-day workflow, but it does not decide University of Phoenix eligibility. In North Carolina, keep three decisions separate: whether the online program is available, whether the Board record and practice setting are compliant, and whether the University approves the proposed preceptor and site.

In North Carolina, both Phoenix NP tracks require a minimum of 600 supervised clinical hours. FNP students need at least 500 hours in primary care. PMHNP learners need at least 100 hours each in psychotherapy, pediatric or adolescent care, adult care, and geriatric care, plus 200 flexible hours across approved psychiatric populations.

These totals describe the Phoenix curriculum but do not authorize an NP placement in North Carolina. If current written University direction later permits the student's exact circumstances, use the appropriate track distribution to assess capacity. Before then, the 600-hour requirement is planning information, not a reason to contact sites.

In North Carolina, FNP and PMHNP students also attend a required 5-day in-person campus residency in Phoenix during NRP/571. That residency is separate from local clinical shifts and does not change state eligibility. Place travel, site onboarding, employment, and the clinical calendar together before accepting a schedule.

In North Carolina, the July 2026 handbook permits up to 100 telehealth hours in each NP track, but the student must be physically in the same location as the preceptor. Telehealth describes how the patient encounter occurs. That is not permission for the student to work from one location while the preceptor supervises from another.

We support physical placements and conditional virtual preceptorship routes. For a North Carolina plan, any virtual element still depends on program availability, prior University approval, patient location, the approved site, preceptor credentials, course objectives, and the co-location rule. Confirm the arrangement in writing before relying on it. See virtual preceptorship guidance.

In North Carolina, after approval and the start of clinical work, the student records time in Typhon and the preceptor approves the logs there. Maintain names, dates, site address, license details, population focus, and course information consistent across the request. University and site representatives make approval decisions, and no sourcing service can guarantee a match, approval, hours, or an academic result.

In North Carolina, Phoenix students develop potential leads through personal and professional networks and may review preceptor listings available in Typhon. A candidate is then submitted through a Typhon preceptor request. Clinical coordinator review covers the request, and hours must not start merely because a clinician has said yes informally.

Phoenix clinical requirements differ outside the NP tracks. In North Carolina, the RN-to-BSN practicum requires 90 on-site, direct-care hours in community or public health, split 45 and 45 across the designated courses. Acute-care work does not substitute for that community requirement.

The non-NP MSN concentrations each require at least 60 hours. In North Carolina, Administration and Informatics use 15 direct and 45 indirect hours, while Nursing Education uses 60 direct hours. One leader, informatics professional, or educator may be the right preceptor even though that person would not fit an NP clinical course.

In North Carolina, the DNP path works toward at least 1,000 practice hours with an Applied Project. Accepted prior hours may reduce the student's remaining requirement. For North Carolina, DNP students coordinate Typhon records with the Project Chair and External Consultant and use the University's calculation of remaining hours. State availability must be confirmed for each Phoenix program.

Once eligibility is documented, we can review a North Carolina request by program, course, city, patient population, schedule, and physical or conditional virtual preference. We source and screen prospects for University and site review. Students pay only when matched. Pricing is kept on the cost page.

Trusted by nursing students and working nurses. In North Carolina, share the written eligibility context and clinical brief through a free placement review. Our review will identify what can be sourced and what still needs clarification, without promising University approval, completed hours, or a particular outcome.
