Edison State College Granted NLNAC Accreditation for BSN Program
August 6, 2012 – FORT MYERS, FLA. -- The National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission, Inc. (NLNAC) has granted Edison State College’s baccalaureate nursing program initial accreditation for the Bachelor of Science Nursing (BSN) program. The letter from NLNAC was received by Edison State College today.
“We are very pleased NLNAC concluded that our nursing program meets the high academic standards and level of rigor needed to earn this accreditation,” said Dr. Jeff Allbritten, District President. “Thanks to the many academic leaders, faculty and staff who worked together to make this accreditation possible. The ultimate benefactors are the students we serve.”
According to the NLNAC, Edison State College’s initial accreditation is valid until Spring 2017, when the next evaluation is scheduled. Students who graduated from the BSN program this past Spring have the NLNAC accreditation with their degree.
The NLNAC is an accrediting organization for post-secondary and higher degree education nursing programs, ranging from practical and diploma to baccalaureate and clinical doctorates.
