CCNE Accreditation Awarded to RN to BSN Program at Concordia University

Concordia University, Nebraska (www.cune.edu) is pleased to announce its RN to BSN program has been accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).

CCNE is a national accreditation agency officially recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education. It aims to improve the public’s health and, through assessment, identifies programs that engage in effective educational practices, ensuring the quality and integrity of programs in nursing at the baccalaureate, graduate and residency educational levels.

Concordia’s RN to BSN degree completion program prepares students for service and leadership to engage in professional nursing practice consistent with a holistic model of quality care. The program also provides nurses with content that is relevant in today’s changing healthcare system.

Concordia’s program includes an emphasis on community health promotion and assessment; vulnerable, diverse, and aging populations; leadership; and evidence-based practice.
