The prospective nursing student has investigated an associate degree nursing program and finds that it is nationally accredited. Which organization most likely has accredited this school?
1. National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC)
2. American Association of Colleges of Nursing Accrediting Branch (AACN)
3. National Student Nurses' Association (NSNA)
4. American Nurses Association (ANA)
Correct Answer: 1
The NLNAC is an accrediting commission that serves nursing programs at the vocational, associate degree, baccalaureate, and graduate levels. The AACN serves baccalaureate and higher degree programs and does not accredit at the associate degree level. NSNA and ANA are not accrediting bodies for schools of nursing.
