The Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Portsmouth/Naval Medical Center Portsmouth (NMCP) Nurse Residency Program under the leadership of CAPT Meredith Croft, Chief Nursing Officer/Director of Nursing Services, has officially earned reaccreditation through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). The accreditation has been granted for four years, from May 19, 2025 to July 31, 2029.
NMRTC Portsmouth/NMCP is one of 297 programs in 1047 healthcare sites and one of three Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs) with an accredited Practice Transition Accreditation Program (PTAP).
“This remarkable achievement is a testament to the unwavering commitment to excellence, professionalism, and continuous improvement in nursing practice. The hard work, dedication to mentoring new nurses, and passion for providing high-quality, evidence-based care have not only shaped the future of the nursing profession but is also recognized on a national level,” said Cmdr. Koa Thomas-Jones, the NMCP Portsmouth/NMCP Nurse Residency Program Director.
“Accreditation is more than a milestone; it reflects the strength of our culture and collaboration across all departments. Nurses who serve as preceptors, educators, unit leaders, or supportive peers, all played a vital role in this success. Thank you to the First and Finest for investing in the growth of our new nurses and for making our program a model of excellence,” she added.
