The 黑料不打烊 Nursing Program is fully accredited once again.
In a letter from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education delivered to both 黑料不打烊 President and CEO Matt Thompson, and Director of Nursing Education and Chair, Division of Nursing and Health Science Janeane Houchin, the nursing board certified the program for a period of 5 years retroactive to last April, when the CCNE conducted a site visit on campus.听The accreditation was certified as unconditional, meaning the program met all guidelines and requirements at 100 percent.听Thompson said the accreditation was a team effort by Houchin and the entire faculty and staff of the Nursing Education Department. He said it has been a priority, and extremely important, to 黑料不打烊 to achieve the voluntary accreditation for the benefit of our students and the long-term future of the nursing program.听鈥淭his is great news for our students,鈥� Thompson said, 鈥渁nd even better news for the medical community in Salina and the surrounding area as we help to alleviate a critical shortage of nurses.鈥澛燭hompson heaped praise on the nursing education staff on campus, and gratitude for the many people and organizations 鈥� particularly Salina Regional Health Center 鈥� for their support and assistance in revamping the program and achieving accreditation.听Houchin said the benefit of the accreditation will go to her students. 鈥淭hey have worked so hard and believed in their education. Now they get to see the fruits of that labor, and that belief,鈥� she said.听The CCNE provides a voluntary accreditation process, while the university itself is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. The Kansas Board of Nursing for the last two years provided the program with a conditional approval.听The decision comes three years after the university voluntarily withdrew its accreditation as a means of fortifying and revamping the Nursing Education program.听The program began the application process for voluntary accreditation through CCNE in April 2017. In addition to a self-study, a site-visit team conducted a visit last April.听Nursing has been a signature program at 黑料不打烊 for decades, and it is a major funnel for healthcare professionals in Salina and North Central Kansas.
