Which organization promotes excellence in nursing education to build a strong and diverse nursing workforce?

• A. The American Nurses Association
• B. The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education
• C. The National League for Nursing
• D. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing

Answer: (C)

The National League for Nursing is focused on nursing education excellence and diversity. It works to strengthen how nursing is taught through research, faculty development, and assessment tools, with a clear emphasis on expanding access and representation in nursing programs. This direct focus on education quality and inclusive recruitment and preparation of students is what helps build a strong, diverse nursing workforce. The other organizations operate in related areas—one centers on practice standards and policy for nurses, another on accrediting nursing programs, and another on leadership and standards for higher education in nursing—so they don’t target the educational excellence and diversity goal as directly as the NLN.
