Hi everyone....I was just curious if anyone knew of a site where you can find what ranking your school is in for nursing programs, like the passing rate, etc? Does that make sense??
I'm a pre-nursing student and will be starting my pre-reqs in the fall....but would like to see other schools as well... I live in So Cal...
I've also looked on the Cali nursing program site where it lists the NCLEX passing rate for each school...very helpful! But is that the same thing??
Thanks a lot!

The BRN website is where I would look for NCLEX pass rates. Outside of that, you may find a few publications (like US News & World Report) that attempt to rank various academic programs, but they're really limited in value because each student needs different things in a nursing school.
The best nursing program for a given student is the one that best meets that student's needs. Cost, flexibility of schedule, low student:instructor ratio, feasibility of admission and length of the program are just a few things that may (or may not) be important.
