New status effective for three years as college works toward full accreditation

The National League for Nursing Commission for Nursing Education Accreditation (NLN CNEA) has granted pre-accreditation status to the online Doctor of Nursing Education (DNE) degree program at The Ohio State University College of Nursing.

The National League of Nursing (NLN) announced it has named The Ohio State University College of Nursing an NLN Center of Excellence (COE). The college will be formally recognized during the Honors Convocation at the 2018 NLN Education Summit, on Friday, Sept. 14. Fifteen other nursing programs nationwide, across the academic spectrum of higher education in nursing and leading teaching hospitals and clinical sites, shared the distinction of being named NLN Centers of Excellence this year.

The Ohio State University College of Nursing has been named an NLN Center of Excellence (COE) for 2014 to 2018, the National League for Nursing Board of Governors has announced.

The selection is by competitive application reviewed by a panel of leaders in nursing education, with only 35 programs holding the designation. Six, including Ohio State, were added this year.
