Nursing education is regulated by national and regional accrediting bodies to ensure quality and consistency. In the United States, for example, the [American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN)]() and the [National League for Nursing (NLN)]() play pivotal roles. These organizations set standards and accredit nursing programs at various levels, from Associate Degrees in Nursing (ADN) to Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs.
