The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education<\/a> has reaccredited the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa nursing<\/a> baccalaureate (BS<\/abbr>), master\u2019s and doctor of nursing practice (DNP<\/abbr>) degree programs through 2029. As of fall 2019, UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa nursing department enrolled 205 undergraduate, 32 master\u2019s and 73 DNP<\/abbr> students.<\/p>\n

The comprehensive accreditation process included the completion of a rigorous self-study of the three degree programs followed by an on-site visit by a five-member evaluation team in March 2019. In 2018, 100 percent of first-time BS<\/abbr> and Graduate Entry Program in Nursing test takers passed the National Council Licensure Examination-RN<\/abbr> exam required to practice as a registered nurse.<\/p>\n

“This reaccreditation indicates that the programs continue to meet national standards for nursing education. It is a true testament to the commitment of our outstanding faculty, staff, students and community partners,” said School of Nursing and Dental Hygiene<\/a> Dean Mary G. Boland<\/strong>. “The school will continue to provide exceptional, nationally accredited and nationally ranked nursing education programs to ensure our Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> nursing workforce is sufficient and prepared to meet the evolving needs of our community.”<\/p>\n

In 2019, the school ranked No. 56 for Best Master\u2019s Nursing School and No. 81 for Best DNP<\/abbr> Nursing School, according to U.S. News and World Report<\/em>.<\/p>\n
