Two Rosalind Franklin University nursing programs have earned full accreditation by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
Both programs and their specialty tracks address a critical shortage of highly trained nurses in Northeastern Illinois, Wisconsin and across the nation. CCNE gave maximum initial accreditation to the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and the Master's for Nursing Entry into Practice (MSN ENP) programs. Both the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and the Nurse Anesthesia specialty tracks in the DNP were accredited.
The psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner specialty track prepares graduates to provide psychiatric assessments, diagnosis, and psychopharmacological and psychotherapy treatments across the lifespan. The nurse anesthesia specialty track prepares advanced practice nurses to provide all aspects of anesthesia care across the lifespan in all settings where patients receive this care. The Master's for Nursing into Entry Practice prepares students with bachelor degrees for registered nursing opportunities in practice, leadership, administration and research.
The Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs also accredits the DNP Nurse Anesthesia Entry track, which was first accredited in 2006.
