The School of Nursing was chosen by a panel of 5 registered nurses with over 55 years of combined nursing experience and 7 nursing degrees. They considered our school’s reputation, accreditation, NCLEX pass rate, tuition, and acceptance rates to determine its ranking. Nurse.org has told us that more than 1.5M current and future nurses access their website and they utilize email newsletters, social channels, and award-winning podcast to reach their audience.
