CCNE has extended our current accreditation status until a site visit can safely occur. The original date of March 18-20 has been postponed by CCNE in alignment with the CDC and the state of Pennsylvania’s coronavirus mitigation efforts. The Ross and Carol Nese College of Nursing will announce the new accreditation visit date once it is determined.
