Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing

The Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) is an organization that reviews and recognizes nursing programs, such as those at hospitals, colleges, and universities, to ensure they meet high quality standards. Its goal is to promote excellence in nursing education, preparing students to provide safe and effective patient care. Accreditation by ACEN indicates that a program has been thoroughly evaluated and meets rigorous criteria for curriculum, faculty, resources, and student outcomes. This recognition helps students, employers, and institutions trust that the nursing education provided is comprehensive, current, and capable of producing competent healthcare professionals.
