The University of Windsor nursing program received the maximum seven-year term accreditation.
The Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing issued the maximum
seven-year term accreditation for the UWindsor educational unit, as well
as its collaborative BScN program with Lambton and St. Clair colleges.
Dean Linda Patrick says this is a recognition of the high standard of education the 300 nurse graduates each year are receiving.
She says it is a detailed process with submissions of documents, followed up by a week-long visit in November by an accreditation team.
She says the accreditation recognizes that all the 4 sites have a level of excellence because the all have an educational unit that is evaluated separately from each other.
She says this puts their graduates in good standing for the work world: "I would have to say that knowing we have the gold standard, or 7 year accreditation, would please an employer knowing the graduate they're going to hire has gone to a very good school with a good program that's received the accreditation"
The Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing is the national accrediting body for nursing education in Canada. It promotes the process as an objective method to assess professional education programs.
Accreditation by the is a testament to the continued quality of the UWindsor BScN program and its faculty, students and graduates according to Patrick.
