If a nursing program has a change in its approval status with the state regulatory agency for nursing, the nurse administrator shall immediately submit to the ACEN a report explaining the reasons for the decision, a copy of the letter received from the state regulatory agency for nursing, and a report detailing the plans to correct the situation. The ACEN Board of Commissioners will determine appropriate follow-up actions after reviewing the submitted materials. The accreditation status of the nursing program may be changed.
