Choosing the NLN Commission for Nursing Education Accreditation (CNEA) for our accreditation was a decision driven by their reputation for fostering open, effective communication and setting transparent, attainable standards. The accreditation journey with the NLN CNEA has been collaborative, emphasizing continuous quality improvement over punitive measures, which has empowered our RN to BSN and MSN programs to not only meet but exceed educational benchmarks. Our experience with the NLN CNEA has been instrumental in enhancing the quality and recognition of our nursing education programs.
