The ANCC’s Pathway to Excellence Program acknowledges healthcare organizations that demonstrate an unyielding commitment to fostering positive practice environments that engage and empower staff members.

As part of the application process that leads to eventual “pathways” status, frontline nursing staff must confirm that their own experiences during tenure meet the criteria set out in the standard guidelines for each pathway. This is another unique feature that sets this program apart from others like it that are available elsewhere.
