7. NLNAC vs. CCNE Accreditation

   ARnurse69 replied to zubi14's topic in General Students

   If it doesn't matter, than why does some universities insist on it for admission to their BSN programs? From the website for UAFS (University of Arkansas Fort Smith), "Submit an official transcript showing successful completion of an NLNAC accredit...

    I read the other post, & then several others about UofW. I just received my acceptance letter from the school, & am waiting on my transcript eval. This seemed the better fit for me now. Ugh?!!! Anyone else with this experience?

12. Interviewing for CQI/CM Position - Have ???s

    ARnurse69 replied to Ginger35's topic in Case Management

    I have found that, after awhile, you learn to recognize when a pt is meeting the criteria. I don't carry my Interqual around chart to chart like when I first started. If I question it, then I will refer to the book. The criteria does change some, to...
