An accreditation is a voluntary process by which a school demonstrates meeting the educational standards over and above the legal requirements. It guarantees the student the opportunity to gain a quality education. Generic, BSN completion, and advanced degree programs obtain accreditation either through the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN), which was formerly the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC), or by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). The state board of nursing approves or grants the school the right to operate a school of nursing in the state. The American Nurses Association is the professional organization for graduates of nursing programs.
