“Our consultant from Nursing Education Consulting was invaluable to our recent reaccreditation preparation. Her attention to details and insightful tips helped us do well during our site visit. She adapted her consultation based on our school’s uniqueness as a program but making sure all required elements were meticulously considered. We also used her for our initial reaccreditation and we are very happy with the results.”

“Nursing Education Consulting conducted an excellent 2-day consultation visit with our faculty that resulted in effective outcomes that directly related to our accreditation self-study, test-item writing and analysis, and curriculum mapping across all programs. I especially liked their ability to capture the attention of the faculty by making the material applicable with explicit examples from our undergraduate and graduate programs. The faculty left the visit with “real” tools and plans to enhance the programs and prepare for accreditation. I would highly recommend Nursing Education Consulting to any nursing program!“
