ATLANTA – The Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing has again been designated as a Center of Excellence in Nursing Education by the National League for Nursing (NLN), which was announced recently. The School of Nursing remains part of a coveted group of programs across the nation.
The NLN first recognized the school in 2017 as a new designee for Enhancing Student Learning and Professional Development. Formal recognition came during the 2021 NLN Education Summit in Washington, D.C. September 25.
“What an honor to be recognized by the NLN,” said Dean Linda McCauley, PhD, RN, FAAN. “This designation ensures our faculty will continue to educate and uplift the next generation of nurses.”
Since 2004, the League has invited nursing schools to apply to become a Centers of Excellence based on the ability to show sustained excellence in faculty development, nursing education research, student learning, and professional development, and academic progression. Currently, 79 schools have designations. The School of Nursing is one of six in the country to be recognized for faculty expertise.
