National Commission on Collegiate Nurse Education (CCNE) Accreditation

Dear Colleagues/Stakeholders/Affiliations, etc.

VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System is preparing for national accreditation of its mental health nurse practitioner residency program by the Commission on Collegiate Nurse Education (CCNE) in Fall 2024.  CCNE will review the federally funded Mental Health Nurse Practioner Residency (MH-NPR).  CCNE is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as an accrediting body of entry-to-practice nurse residency program.  A team of reviewers will perform a virtual evaluation of the nurse practitioner residency program on Sept. 23-25, 2024.

As CCNE seeks input from the public and our stakeholders, we encourage you to submit any comments regarding the residency programs pertaining to the national accreditation standards.  Written third-party comments will be accepted by CCNE until 21 days prior to the evaluation.  All written third-party comments must be received by CCNE by Sept. 2, 2024.  Please submit comments to the following:
