2019 Best Nursing Schools by State
In addition to ranking nursing school nationally, we provide state-by-state rankings. This is important for two reasons. Most students will choose a nursing program within the state they live. Secondly, sates do not report NCLEX rankings in the same way. For instance, some state boards of nursing do not provide the number of students taking the NCLEX test each year, and each state reports their NCLEX passing rates at different times of the year.
