MEMORANDUM
To: Nursing Community of Interest
From: Lander University Department of Nursing
Bernice Daugherty, Chair
Subject: Initial Accreditation by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education
During the time period, October 6-8, 2010, the Lander University
Baccalaureate Nursing Education Program will undergo evaluation by
CCNE to determine eligibility for initial accreditation by this national nursing
accrediting body. CCNE requires that programs applying for accreditation
offer the opportunity to interested parties to submit “written input into the
deliberations of an evaluation team”. “Written and signed third-party
comments will be accepted by CCNE until 30 days before the visit” or until
September 6, 2010. Written comments are to be sent to the Commission
on Nursing Education at One Dupont Circle, NW, Suite 530, Washington,
DC 20037-1120 and to the attention of Ms. Amanda Brownbridge,
Accreditation Assistant.
Third-party comments are shared with “members of the evaluation team
prior to the visit, but at no time during the review process are these
comments shared with the program”.
If you have questions about this process, please direct them to Ms.
Brownbridge at (202)887-6791 x252 or abrownbridge@aacn.nche.edu
