How Do Nursing Programs Achieve CCNE Accreditation?
Achieving CCNE accreditation involves a comprehensive evaluation process. Programs must submit a self-study report that demonstrates compliance with CCNE standards. This is followed by an on-site evaluation by a team of experts who assess the program's resources, faculty, curriculum, and outcomes. Only after meeting all criteria will a program receive accreditation, which is typically granted for a period of five to ten years.
