The University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing is undergoing an accreditation review by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) for our DNP majors (Clinical Nurse Specialist, Health Systems Executive Leadership, Nurse Anesthesia, Nurse-Midwife, and Nurse Practitioner, which has 7 Areas of Concentrations) and our APRN certificates (Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, Pediatric Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, Neonatal Nurse Practitioner, and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner). Our site visit is scheduled for February 26, 27, and 28, 2024.
