National Commission on Collegiate Nurse Education (CCNE) Accreditation

Dear Colleagues/Stakeholders/Affiliations, etc.

VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System is preparing for national accreditation of our entry-to-practice nurse residency program by the Commission on Collegiate Nurse Education (CCNE) in Fall 2023.  CCNE will review the federally funded Post-Baccalaureate Registered Nurse Residency (PB-RNR).  CCNE is recognized by the US 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 residency program on September 13th – 15th, 2023.

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 August 23, 2023.  Please submit comments to the following:
