What is the Accreditation Process for Nursing Programs?
The accreditation process involves several steps: 1. Self-Study Report: The program must conduct a thorough self-study and submit a report detailing how it meets accreditation standards. 2. Site Visit: A team of evaluators conducts an on-site review to verify information and assess the program's quality. 3. Evaluation and Decision: The accrediting body reviews the findings and makes an accreditation decision. 4. Ongoing Reporting: Accredited programs must submit periodic reports and undergo periodic reviews to maintain their status.
