<p>I tried to find all the websites for undergraduate ranking;however, I couldn't find it except Masters.
Do you guys know any website that gives the undergraduate ranking for Nursing(RN) + rankings for graduate?</p>
<p>I'm not sure there are rankings, but I'd want to know the n-clex first time pass rate. That is the RN license exam.</p>

<p>Are these stats for this year?</p>
<p>It won't vary that much. Most have a limit on enrollment and fill it yearly.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that to be an RN you don't need a 4-year degree (although it may prove better than the other 2 paths).</p>

In all States and the District of Columbia, students must graduate from an approved nursing program and pass a national licensing examination, known as the NCLEX-RN, in order to obtain a nursing license. Nurses may be licensed in more than one State, either by examination or by the endorsement of a license issued by another State. Currently 18 States participate in the Nurse Licensure Compact Agreement, which allows nurses to practice in member States without recertifying. All States require periodic renewal of licenses, which may involve continuing education.</p>
<p>There are three major educational paths to registered nursing: A bachelor’s of science degree in nursing (BSN), an associate degree in nursing (ADN), and a diploma. BSN programs, offered by colleges and universities, take about 4 years to complete. In 2004, 674 nursing programs offered degrees at the bachelor’s level. ADN programs, offered by community and junior colleges, take about 2 to 3 years to complete. About 846 RN programs in 2004 granted associate degrees. Diploma programs, administered in hospitals, last about 3 years. Only 69 programs offered diplomas in 2004. Generally, licensed graduates of any of the three types of educational programs qualify for entry-level positions as staff nurses.</p>
<p>Many RNs with an ADN or diploma later enter bachelor’s programs to prepare for a broader scope of nursing practice. Often, they can find a staff nurse position and then take advantage of tuition reimbursement benefits to work toward a BSN by completing an RN-to-BSN program. In 2004, there were 600 RN-to-BSN programs in the United States. Accelerated master’s degree programs in nursing also are available. These programs combine 1 year of an accelerated BSN program with 2 years of graduate study. In 2004, there were 137 RN-to-MSN programs.</p>
<p>Accelerated BSN programs also are available for individuals who have a bachelor’s or higher degree in another field and who are interested in moving into nursing. In 2004, more than 165 of these programs were available. Accelerated BSN programs last 12 to 18 months and provide the fastest route to a BSN for individuals who already hold a degree.</p>
<p>Individuals considering nursing should carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages of enrolling in a BSN program, because, if they do, their advancement opportunities usually are broader. In fact, some career paths are open only to nurses with a bachelor’s or master’s degree. A bachelor’s degree often is necessary for administrative positions and is a prerequisite for admission to graduate nursing programs in research, consulting, and teaching, and all four advanced practice nursing specialties</p>

<p>I really feel that it's not important and almost wholly unnecessary to worry about "ranking" for nursing school, especially if you are going to be getting a BSN. It's one of those fields where because of the shortage nationwide, you'll be able to get a job somewhere. And further, like teaching, it's a geographically correlated field. By that I mean, wherever you end up going to school for nursing, you're about 95% likely to find a job in the nearby area (with in a 2 hour radius). It's not like Investment Banking (NYC) or Computer engineering (Silicon Valley) where there are "hot spots" for jobs that you have to get noticed to interview and get offered a position. </p>
<p>Beyond that, there is so much variety to the field, that student interest largely determines what type of nursing a student gets into post grad, not really any sort of "educational superiority". If you want to get into Labor and Delivery, or surgery nursing, that's entirely up to you. Or you can get into a doctor's office and do that. </p>
<p>Further, as has been mentioned, the varying levels of nursing degrees means that if you have a BSN, you're going to be getting into the better positions and administrative roles, simply because you have a greater knowledge base.</p>
<p>EBHSSAT-
I believe those stats are from the IPEDS Peer Analysis System for 2004.</p>
<p>ECU has an excellent nursing program that a lot of people do not know about. Many argue that their program is superior to that of their neighboring prestigious counterpart UNC Chapel Hill.</p>
<p>Regarding Opening Post: When selecting a Nursing program, base your decision primarily on two factors: (1) Percentage of students who pass the N-CLEX the first time, and (2) How the college or university, as a whole, fits what you are looking for in a college.</p>
<p>Like many of the Health Professions requiring licensure, the curriculum is prescribed (pretty much laid out in terms of what you need to graduate).</p>
<p>Interestingly enough, there are many two-year Nursing programs that have higher first-time N-CLEX pass rate than students at some four-year schools.</p>
<p>By the way, do yourself a favor and pay absolutely NO ATTENTION to the rankings in Collegehelp's posts. He/She means well, but those rankings are absolutely meaningless.</p>
<p>Good luck in your college search.</p>
<p>They may be "meaningless" but they are pretty accurate.</p>
<p>I agree, completely with 'old but wise' but would like to add some more advice.
1.Check to be sure the School of Nursing is integrated into the campus as a whole. Often nursing and other health professions have a separate campus. 2. Check to be sure admission to the university gets you into the nursing program. Back in the dark ages, my university's nursing program required application for junior year admittance. Also, nursing is now an impacted major at many schools due to a lack of faculty for clinical supervision.</p>
<p>I would definitely want to get my Bachelor degree, then Master.
I also want to go to graduate school to get my doctor degree as well.</p>
<p>mominva, I think most of the nursing programs here in NC have requirements that must be met in the first 2 years before being admitted to the Sch. of Nsg. and many have quotas of how many can be admitted to the school of nursing, hence you could have met all the requirements but still not get.<br>
A friend's D who is a soph. at UNCW just got in the school of nursing. They were only taking 50 students.</p>
<p>A nursing PhD will have many job choices.</p>
