摘要
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted higher education delivery. In March 2020, relaxed federal guidelines allowed for programmatic accreditation to continue in a virtual format. Nursing programs seeking accreditation need to modify visit plans and comply with the accrediting organization guidelines and procedures. This article describes the adaptations nursing programs may need to make when seeking accreditation review and hosting a virtual site visit. It will discuss how to prepare, plan, and implement the virtual site visit. (C) 2020 Organization for Associate Degree Nursing. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
