Department of Nursing undergoes re-accreditation
Area residents can express their views about Augusta
State University’s nursing program, Wednesday, Feb. 6 from 4 - 4:45
p.m. in Skinner Hall, D-4. The open meeting is part of its evaluation
for re-accreditation by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission
on Feb. 6 - 8.
The nursing program’s last review was in 1994 when it received its
eight-year accreditation. The NLNAC is a nationally recognized accrediting
agency for all types of nursing programs.
The nursing program will be evaluated by a qualified, independent group
of individuals in the medical field who are to ensure that the program
is meeting its educational goals. Re-accreditation for the program will
continue to give it eligibility for entitlement programs, provide professional
development and validation for faculty, and aid in the recruitment process.
According to Letha Lierman, nursing department chair, the reaccredidation
indicates the programs quality and its ability to meet the needs of the
students.
