Hey guys, I'm playing around with the idea of going into nursing and I'd really like to attend an HBCU. Anyone know which HBCUs are highly rated for their nursing programs as of 2023? Personal experiences and job placement info would be super helpful!
Hello there! I'm glad to see you're considering a career in nursing and there are some fantastic HBCUs renowned for their nursing programs that you should look into. Howard University in Washington, D.C., is known for its comprehensive BSN program and has a strong reputation for its medical programs overall. Another institution to consider is Hampton University in Virginia, which offers both traditional and accelerated BSN programs. Also, Winston-Salem State University in North Carolina has a well-respected nursing program that boasts high NCLEX pass rates, indicating strong preparation for their students.
In terms of job placement, many HBCUs have strong relationships with local healthcare establishments which can facilitate internships and employment opportunities post-graduation. Be sure to explore each school's career services to get concrete employment statistics. Additionally, it may be helpful for you to reach out directly to these schools' admissions or nursing departments to ask about their most recent job placement rates. Your determination and interest in HBCUs will be a wonderful asset as you move forward in this process, and I'm confident that you'll find a program that supports your professional goals!
