Popis: One of the most valuable roles in the accreditation review process is that of the peer evaluator. Accreditation of nursing education programs through a peer review process could not occur without the volunteer efforts of peer evaluators. Peer evaluators are experts in nursing education and nursing practice who use their knowledge of the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing’s Standards, Criteria, and policies for collegial, programmatic review. Engagement in the accreditation review process gives peer evaluators a platform upon which their input and expertise contribute to continuous quality improvement in nursing education. Notably, peer evaluators are the expert voices driving changes in the Standards and Criteria, thus typifying the value of peer input.
