2. Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE)

Rationale:
The CCNE accredits baccalaureate and graduate degree nursing programs. The NLN accredits nursing programs at all levels, including LVN and LPN. Both of these offer voluntary accreditation. The NCLEX is the licensure examination administered by each state, and the NCSBN is the council to which all state boards of nursing belong.
