National League for Nursing - Excellence Initiatives
Final Application Guidelines
The final application must document how all components
of each criterion in the selected category are fulfilled by all programs
offered by the school. This application must describe relevant activities and
initiatives that serve to create an environment where excellence is pervasive.
Since the supportive evidence is intended to showcase the school’s excellence
in the selected category, the material submitted will be unique to each school.
It is the responsibility of the school to provide convincing evidence that all
criteria in the selected category have been met for all faculty and/or all programs
offered by the school. Schools applying for re-designation must provide evidence
that demonstrates sustained and continued excellence in all programs since the
most recent designation.
The narrative must include:
- Documentation of measurable outcomes of excellence initiatives in each
criterion.
- Supporting qualitative and quantitative data from no more than four
years prior to the application.
- A clear and succinct description of how the school has created the environment
related to the particular COE category selected.
- Evidence that the excellence initiatives have been implemented throughout
all programs within the school.
- A clearly organized document which facilitates the assessment of outcomes
in each excellence criterion.
- Validation of the sustainability of excellence initiatives
Final application formatting guidelines:

- Optional DVD or other materials, if submitted, must complement the narrative.
- Format with 1.5 line spacing, 1-inch margins, and a font size of 11
