Third party comments welcomed by CON


In October, the MUSC College of Nursing is participating in a voluntary, comprehensive, self-study and national accreditation process of the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program conducted by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). The purpose of CCNE accreditation is to ensure quality and integrity of baccalaureate and graduate education programs preparing nurses. Many facets of the college will be assessed to determine the extent to which the college achieves the state mission, educational philosophy and goals/objectives. CCNE serves to assess and identify programs that engage in effective educational practices, thereby contributing to the improvement of the public’s health. The on-site evaluation conducted to assess the college’s compliance with CCNE standards will occur Oct. 18-20.
 
You are invited to submit signed, written comments about the College of Nursing to CCNE by Sept. 18. Send all comments to: Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education; Attention: Amanda Brownbridge, Accreditation Assistant, One Dupont Circle, NW, Suite 530, Washington, DC 20036-1120.
 
For more information, contact Amanda Brownbridge, CCNE accreditation assistant, at (202) 887-6791x252 or e-mail abrownbridge@aacn.nche.edu.
