Nurse.org has released its 2025 Best Nursing School Rankings, evaluating top BSN, MSN, and DNP programs based on academic quality, affordability, and reputation to help aspiring nurses choose the best education options.
BELLEVUE, Wash., March 3, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Nurse.org, the largest website and community of nurses online, is proud to announce its 2025 Best Nursing School Rankings. Designed to guide prospective nursing students in selecting the best programs, these rankings evaluate nursing schools based on the factors that matter most: academic quality, reputation, affordability, and online options.
Leveraging a proprietary ranking algorithm, Nurse.org utilizes the latest and most comprehensive U.S. government data sets, including the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) and College Scorecard, to assess and rank nursing schools across various degree and program types. The rankings provide a well-rounded analysis of nursing programs, ensuring students have the necessary information to make informed decisions about their education and future careers. Nurse.org updates its rankings annually as school data is published by IPEDS and College Scorecard.
The 2025 Best Nursing School Rankings feature top programs across multiple categories, including Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs. With the growing demand for highly trained nurses, these rankings serve as a crucial resource for students looking to enter or advance in the nursing profession.
