A team of five program evaluators will be on campus on Oct. 19 to 21 to meet with PNC administration and the Department of Nursing administration, faculty, staff, students and community partners.
NLNAC provides the opportunity for program constituents to submit in writing comments concerning an educational program's qualifications for accreditation status. Written comments are also welcome and should be submitted directly to: Dr. Sharon Tanner, chief executive officer, 3343 Peachtree Road NE, Suite 500, Atlanta, Ga. 30326 or email to sjtanner@nlnac.org. All written comments should arrive at NLNAC by Oct. 13.
