PROVIDENCE – Johnson & Wales University recently announced that its accelerated Bachelor of Science in nursing program has received accreditation from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
According to the university’s website, JWU’s accelerated program allows students to learn in a simulation lab, where they listen to heartbeats, practice giving IVs, take blood pressure and other activities using high-fidelity mannequins. Additionally, students will have clinicals to gain real-world health care experience.
Additionally, JWU’s inaugural program cohort achieved a 100% pass rate on the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses, the university said.
“This accreditation from CCNE further affirms the academic quality of our program, advances JWU’s commitment to a robust health and wellness degree offering, and helps address Rhode Island’s healthcare workforce needs,” Maura Daly Iversen, dean of the College of Health and Wellness at JWU, said in a statement.
