Accelerated BSN rankings


I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a list somewhere that ranked accelerated BSN programs in the country. They have these rankings for almost every other type of college program but I haven't been able to find one for this. I had been planning on going somewhere in Michigan but now I am thinking about going out of state but unsure of how to decide which school's are better than others. If anyone knows of any schools they are planning on attending with one of these programs in any state besides Michigan, it would be great to know the name and what you have heard or think about it!
Thanks!
Jordan

I was wondering the same thing. I'm not sure if nursing schools are really ranked- nor care as much- as medical schools are ranked though.

Yeah, I'm not sure. The reason I wondered about this though is because I was at some school's nursing website (I don't remember which one) and it said that they were ranked like #4 and all of this other stuff so I just wondered where that ranking came from. I guess I mostly would want to know what hospitals schools are working with, because you can probably find more info out about the hospitals and how good they are to judge the school as well.

I don't know about rankings, but I know that the Indiana State Board of Nursing has NCLEX pass rates for all of the schools in the state--and this is an important statistic to know. I'm sure all the states have this information, so you might go to Michigan's site.

msn rankings are relative to or shouldnt differ that much from bsn, accelerated or traditional. you can simply take out schools that dont provide an accelerated program.

Thanks for that link, it's kind of what I figured, at least for ABSN programs, with a few surprises. I'll check states' websites for NCLEX pass rates especially since a lot of schools that I hear about, I hear that they are on probation because of the their pass rates.
