With a growing nursing shortage and a focus on increasing the diversity of the nursing workforce, nursing education has an opportunity to consider novel program options to improve access to a nursing career.
Innovation
An Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) goal is to foster quality, equity, access, opportunity, mobility, and preparation for practice which directly aligns with offering innovative nursing program options. With new program development, attention to educational quality is essential to ensure that nurses and future patients gain the benefits of that education.
Implications
ACEN accredits all levels of nursing education: diploma, practical, associate, baccalaureate, master's, and clinical doctorate, both within the United States, and internationally; this makes it an effective partner to assist nursing education programs in developing streamlined pathways to completion while maintaining quality. The 2023 Standards and Criteria align with the current literature on quality indicators and support best practices in nursing education.
Conclusion
ACEN is uniquely positioned to support programs as they incorporate alternative approaches to nursing education and promote success on licensure and in practice.
