Use nursing education resources |
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can also look at all programs first, then find which ones are listed as NLN accredited within their literature. Since this is an important aspect of nursing programs, it should be pretty easy to find out.

Use NLN resources |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The NLN keeps records of what programs are accredited. You can use those resources to start your search for a nursing program. This may save you time if you only look at programs that are NLN accredited, rather than looking at all programs, then eliminating the ones that don't have NLN accreditation.

Be upfront with the staff at the nursing programs |
|
|
|
|
|
|
As you talk to the faculty and staff at different nursing programs, ask them if the program is NLN accredited. This is something that will be common knowledge in the program, and asking someone about it can give you more information than simply looking in a brochure for the accreditation.

Be sure about NLN accreditation before you enroll in the program |

Finding out about NLN accreditation should be on your list when researching programs along with what courses are offered, how much tuition is, and any other preliminary information that's important to you. Don't wait to find out about the program's accreditation status until after you've enrolled or started classes. If it turns out the program is not accredited, you can cause more problems for yourself than you need to.
Finding an NLN accredited nursing program is easier than you think. With the many resources available to students, both in person and online, you can find out about your program's accreditation status even before you enroll. And by asking one extra question up front, you can be sure that you start your nursing career off on the right foot.
