  • Evidence-based Nursing Education Program Approval | NCSBN

    Learn how NCSBN uses evidence-based guidelines to support nursing education program approval, including quality indicators, warning signs, annual reporting data, and research that helps boards of nursing benchmark and evaluate program performance. These guidelines, developed from a large mixed-methods study, consist of nursing program quality indicators and warning signs.  Since releasing the 2020 Nursing Education Approval Guidelines , NCSBN has created a core database to collect annual report data from participating US NRBs. The core annual report collects data from nursing programs on program demographics, program director, faculty and students. Questions related to the effects the COVID-19 pandemic has had on nursing programs have been included in the 2020/21 surveys.
