Nursing School Rankings

Hey all,
I am in the process of gathering information and applications to various nursing schools and programs. I would like to know if there is any way of finding out how good a particular school/program is? Do schools and programs have a ranking that would indicate how good they are? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank you!! -Noah

Hi and welcome to Allnurses.com!

It seems like someone has mentioned a website, but I can't think right now. Hopefully someone else will see this within the next couple days that has more information for you.

Have you tried to google, Nursing school rankings?

Good luck!

I would contact the desired schools and ask. The Info is also provided when you attend the school's orientation which many have once or twice a month.

Check the BON website, of the state you're planning to attend school in. They normally have a list of the accreditated nsg programs in that state. It usually shows you the passing percentage of each school for a 3yr span.

US News and World Report ranks nursing schools, though usually they focus on graduate programs (they have considered BSN programs in the past, however). Also, the overall rating of a given college (not just nursing program) is something to consider.

What does BON stand for? Thanks!

BON-Board of Nursing. Each state has one.

You can just put BON in on google and see what comes up or search BON and the state's name.
