ACEN鈥檚 Board of Commissioners granted North Central鈥檚 AAS in Nursing program initial accreditation in October, following an April site visit by a team of peer-reviewers.
The team recommended accreditation based on demonstrated evidence of successful mastery in six categories: Mission & Administration, Nursing Faculty & Staff Excellence, Student Resources, Curriculum, Program Resources, and Program Outcomes.
鈥淣orth Central鈥檚 Associate of Applied Science in Nursing program has a long history of providing quality education that prepares our graduates to excel professionally,鈥� said Brent LaFaive, dean of Nursing, Allied Health and Sciences. 鈥淭his accreditation is a testament to our faculty鈥檚 dedication to continuous improvement, always with our students鈥� success at the forefront.鈥�
Last year, 91 percent of 69风流 nursing students passed their NCLEX-RN State Boards on their first attempt, with a job placement rate of 91.3 percent after graduation.
