A high school graduate is considering entering a nursing program that offers a baccalaureate degree. What organization accreditation should the nurse use to help select a nursing program?
1. NLN (National League for Nursing)
2. CCNE (Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education)
3. NCLEX® (National Council Licensure Examination)
4. NCSBN (National Council of State Boards of Nursing)
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The CCNE accredits baccalaureate- and graduate-degree nursing programs. The NLN accredits nursing programs at all levels, including LVN and LPN. Both of these offer voluntary accreditation. The NCLEX® is the licensure examination administered by each state, and the NCSBN is the council to which all state boards of nursing belong.
