Dear Students
I am excited to announce that Eastern Center for Arts and Technology’s Practical Nursing Program received accreditation from the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN)! We thank Carol Duell and the team who worked tirelessly in the spring to achieve this goal.
We received the news this fall but our accreditation began effectively in the spring of 2024. This means that you will graduate from an ACEN approved program!
Some of the benefits of graduating from an ACEN accredited program are:
- Provides students useful information for career and education decision-making.
- Assistance to employers seeking graduates who are competent practitioners.
- Meets the requirement of some state regulatory agencies.
- Fulfills the requirement by many nursing programs for admission to undergraduate and graduate programs.
- Facilitates the transfer of credits when graduates apply to bridge programs to receive RN degree.
