What does the NLN-CHAP provide?

The NLN-CHAP, or the National League for Nursing's Commission for the Accreditation of Nursing Programs, focuses on the voluntary accreditation of nursing schools. Accreditation by the NLN-CHAP signifies that a nursing program meets certain standards of quality in its education and preparation of nurses for practice. This accreditation process assures students, prospective employers, and the public that the nursing education meets rigorous and established benchmarks. Additionally, NLN-CHAP is involved in devising and improving assessments, such as test preparation materials for the NCLEX, which is essential for licensing nurses to practice. This emphasizes the importance of educational quality and effective preparation for the national licensing exam, making it a critical resource for nursing schools aiming to demonstrate their commitment to excellence in nursing education.
