“I am very proud of the ongoing recognition by RegisteredNursing.org, and I commend the hard work of both faculty and students in maintaining and embracing [our] rigorous program standards,” said Dr. Kathy Stolfer, professor of nursing. “We strive to respond to the timely challenges of the healthcare system through preparation of caring, safe and competent nurses, equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities for their professional roles.”
The undergraduate nursing programs were evaluated on several factors, including how well a program supports students toward licensure and beyond, as well as current and historical pass rates on the National Council Licensing Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN).
Online RN to BSN programs were analyzed and ranked according to the following criteria: program accreditation, online offerings, number and variety of nursing programs, ratio of total nursing program completions versus total program completions, annual tuition, ratio of tenured faculty, and university/college acceptance and graduation rates.
