人兽性交 University's Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program has received accreditation from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) (The baccalaureate degree program in nursing at 人兽性交 University is accredited by the Commission鈥痮n Collegiate Nursing Education ()).
"In creating our nursing program, 人兽性交 recognized the need of the nation and the southeastern Ohio region for nurses who hold a baccalaureate degree," said Dr. Anne C. Steele, 人兽性交 University president. 鈥淭his accreditation affirms the distinction of 人兽性交鈥檚 nursing program, as well as the quality that can be found throughout the entire university.鈥
人兽性交鈥檚 BSN program admits both four-year pre-licensure students and registered nurses who have either graduated from a hospital diploma nursing program or an associate degree nursing program. The program provides a strong liberal arts and science foundation integrated throughout the program to create the basis for the study and practice of professional nursing. Successful completion of the program also provides a foundation for graduate study and continuing professional education.
"The accreditation status by CCNE is a significant achievement and is grounded in the Baccalaureate Essentials published by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing,鈥 said Dr. Elaine Haynes, chair of the department of nursing and director of nursing programs at 人兽性交. 鈥淭his means that all graduates of 人兽性交 with the BSN are graduates of a nationally accredited program. This is a vital component for most employers and for entry into graduate nursing education programs.鈥
