Accreditation is vital in the field of nursing. It assures that nursing programs provide a high level of education and meet specific professional standards. CHEA-recognized accrediting bodies, such as the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN), evaluate nursing programs to ensure they meet these rigorous standards. By doing so, they help maintain the integrity and trustworthiness of nursing education.
