Roles and Responsibilities

A printer-friendly version Roles and Responsibilities of the consultant and applicant can be found on pages 12-15 of the handbook.

Critical to the success of the Centers of Excellence in Nursing Education program are the consultants who make the onsite visit to those seeking designation as an NLN Center of Excellence, the applicant itself, and the COE Committee.

These guidelines were developed to clearly define the roles,
responsibilities, and expectations of the consultant and the
applicant. It is particularly critical to distinguish the Centers
of Excellence program from accreditation, since these programs are very different from each other. Thus, these guidelines clearly articulate what the Centers of Excellence consultant and applicants are and are not expected to do prior to, during, and after the onsite visit.

Any questions about the roles and responsibilities of anyone involved in the Centers of Excellence process should be directed to Tish Hess, NLN’s director, membership and excellence initiatives, at thess@nln.org.
