实际的护理 program receives ACEN accreditation

Anoka Technical College’s 实际的护理 diploma program was recently granted initial accreditation by the 认证 Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) Board of Commissioners. The ACEN is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education 认证 and ensures high quality nursing education across the country.

ACEN 认证 for the 实际的护理 program qualifies students for scholarships from federal and state agencies and foundations, jobs in the practical nursing field and undergraduate and graduate nursing programs.

The process for accreditation, which began back in 2017, included multiple site visits and a request for public feedback. The ACEN’s Board of Commissioners noted in its review of the program that Anoka Tech’s high-quality lab facilities are an especially strong asset to its students. 

The accreditation process was finalized in October 2019, and the ACEN 认证 is retroactive to July 12, 2017. The next scheduled evaluation visit for re-accreditation is spring 2024. 

登记 for the diploma is now open for spring semester. 学生 who have completed CPR and Nursing Assistant or 医疗助理 requirements are encouraged to apply.
