Criteria for Evaluation
The National Task Force (NTF) for Quality NP Education had completed its periodic review and updating of the Criteria for Evaluation of Nurse Practitioner Programs. The review process is part of the NTF's commitment to ensure that the document retains its currency and also to provide the opportunity to refine the wording and include additional elaboration, as necessary, to enhance clarity. The third edition of this document is now available in electronic format, see below. The NTF will be seeking organizational endorsement of the revised evaluation criteria, and a printed version of the document will be available late spring with the endorsements included. However, the NTF agreed to release the revised document in electronic format now to ensure that NP programs have the most current information. The evaluation criteria have been previously recognized by national accrediting bodies, including adoption by CCNE into their accreditation standards; the NTF is similarly seeking adoption of the revised criteria into the national nursing accreditation process.
