After conducting three national studies and a literature review, NCSBN has developed evidence-based Approval Guidelines that Nursing Regulatory Bodies can use when approving nursing education programs. NCSBN is delighted to present this comprehensive work to you in a virtual conference. During the conference we will discuss the results of the studies, literature review and the Approval Guidelines. Additionally, we’ll present our annual report core data template and explain how it could be implemented in your states/jurisdictions.
