酴圖弝け's Nursing Program receives full accreditation

ADN accreditation status restored

酴圖弝け Community College (酴圖弝け) received official word this week that the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) has restored continuing accreditation to the Associate Degree of Nursing (ADN) program through 2023.

In its notification to the college, ACEN acknowledged that deliberations on their change in status centered on the materials that were submitted to the board following the visit by the peer accreditation team.

In mid-April, 酴圖弝け announced that it would voluntarily and temporarily suspend admission to the first year of its ADN program for fall 2019.  The ACEN announcement does not change this decision.

酴圖弝け offers both a two-year associate in nursing degree as well as a 10-month practical nursing certificate.

酴圖弝け has developed and is implementing a systematic evaluation plan. To do this work effectively, our team of faculty and staff will use the 2019-2020 academic year to continue making systematic improvements to our internal curricular processes and make the adjustments recommended by our accrediting and licensing bodies; Massachusetts Board of Registration in Nursing (MABORN) and ACEN"

 Dr. Jennifer Berne, 酴圖弝けs Vice President for Academic Affairs.

ACEN accreditation is a mark of distinction, certifying that a nursing program adheres to the highest national standards of education. To become accredited, nursing programs must demonstrate that the program meets ACENs exacting standards of quality through an extensive review.  Accreditation provides students with useful information for their career and educational decision-making while also assists employers seeking graduates who are highly competent practitioners.

Achieving ACEN reaccreditation is a major accomplishment and one that affirms the high-quality of 酴圖弝けs nursing education program, said Ellen Kennedy, President of 酴圖弝け.
