Nursing Schools Almanac ranks 映客直播 as TOP RANKED institution in BOTH NJ & FL authorized to offer an Associate degree in nursing
Nursing Schools Almanac has just released its 2019 rankings of the best U.S. nursing schools and we are proud to see 映客直播 on the top 20 list for both New 映客直播 and Florida. For their 2019 rankings, the research team at Nursing Schools Almanac collected data on over 3,000 nursing schools and campuses throughout the United States.
Each school was evaluated on three dimensions. Below are the scoring criteria shared from Nursing Schools Almanac:
听
1.听The institution鈥檚 academic prestige and perceived value (50% of overall score)
鈥溾�橮restige鈥� and 鈥榲alue鈥� are notoriously difficult concepts to quantify. To be rigorous in our approach, we considered several quantitative measures including:
听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 -听Graduates鈥� ability to repay their student debt in a timely manner
听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 -听Professional designations (e.g., National League for Nursing Center of Excellence)
听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 -听Grant funding for nursing research from the National Institutes of Health
听 听 听 听 听 听 听 听 -听Number of years in operation, particularly at the graduate nursing education level鈥�
听
2. The breadth and depth of nursing programs offered
鈥淲e considered the full range of undergraduate and graduate nursing programs offered by each school, including degrees, diplomas, and certificates. Graduate programs were weighted more heavily, although we also recognized program breadth (e.g., offering baccalaureate, master鈥檚, and doctoral nursing tracks). Finally, we awarded points for program size 鈥� since, all else equal, programs with higher enrollment play a larger role in combating the nation鈥檚 nursing shortage.鈥�

3. Student success, particularly on the NCLEX licensure examination
鈥淣ursing is highly regulated, with a mandatory licensure or certification exam for most roles. Student performance on these tests provides a standardized metric for assessing the quality of instruction across schools. We relied most heavily on first-time NCLEX exam pass rates; this test is uniformly required for both RN and LPN/LVN licensure, and most state boards of nursing report the results annually. We also considered APRN certification tests administered by the American Nurses Credentialing Center, American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, and similar organizations.鈥�
