The Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN)

The ACEN and OADN entered a formal partnership in 2017 to strengthen the support network for associate degree nursing (ADN) programs and their students. Through this partnership, OADN members have direct access to a myriad of accreditation resources, including useful continuing education, current best practices, and expert guidance and support throughout every stage of the initial and continuing accreditation process. Faculty members associated with the ACEN’s accredited programs and OADN members can increase their skill development, team building, and leadership competencies through separate and joint programming offered by the ACEN and OADN. They are also able to share ideas, establish valuable connections, and network with a national community of ADN program faculty. The partnership also facilitates ACEN accredited programs and OADN members’ access to timely and important information about academic progression to further advance the success of graduates from ADN programs.

This collaboration provides a $5 discount per student on Trajecsys’ system, making clinical record management more accessible for ADN programs. Beyond cost savings, Trajecsys supports OADN initiatives, including Leadership Institute Scholarships and Convention poster awards, reinforcing a shared commitment to advancing nursing education and leadership. This partnership aligns with OADN’s mission to promote excellence in ADN programs, ensuring faculty and students have access to efficient clinical tracking tools and educational resources. Through this collaboration, Trajecsys and OADN aim to strengthen nursing education and workforce readiness, providing ADN programs with the support and technology needed to prepare future nurses effectively.

StudentCheck® by Cisive

Cisive’s StudentCheck is an all-in-one student screening and compliance platform built specifically for healthcare education programs. Through PreCheck, Cisive’s healthcare division, StudentCheck centralizes background checks, drug testing, and immunization/health record tracking into a single, secure portal connecting schools, students, and clinical sites.

For nursing program administrators, managing background checks and compliance tracking is too often time consuming, complex, and frustrating. Resolving a single issue can frequently require coordination with multiple representatives. Small mistakes can go unnoticed and have cascading effects, creating added burden for both students and educators.

In response to these challenges, StudentCheck centralizes and simplifies compliance management. This means fewer systems to manage, real-time visibility into compliance, and reduced administrative burden through automated document collection, alerts, and customizable reporting. Every health record uploaded is reviewed by a trained health record professional, helping ensure accuracy and alignment with clinical site requirements.

For students, StudentCheck delivers an intuitive, mobile-friendly experience that makes it easy to upload documentation, track progress, and stay on top of deadlines—supporting on-time clinical placements and a smoother transition from classroom to clinic.
