Hey everyone! I'm a high school junior really passionate about nursing. I'm trying to compile a list of colleges known to have good nursing programs, but not super selective. Any suggestions?
Absolutely, this is a great time to start making your list of potential colleges to apply to. Here are some schools with nursing programs that are not hyper-competitive in terms of admission but still offer excellent nursing programs:
1. University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa - Nursing program at UA is highly recognized and has a student-friendly admission rate.
2. The University of Iowa - Often recognized for its excellent training programs, and although selective, it is considered more accessible than many highly competitive nursing programs.
3. Villanova University - Although it's more selective, the acceptance rate is still more accessible, especially compared to Ivy League standards.
4. Saint Louis University - Offers a well-rated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program and has a favorable acceptance rate.
5. Texas Christian University - Known for their nursing program, especially for their high NCLEX-RN pass rate.
6. University of Cincinnati - The College of Nursing here is often ranked high and the university has a comparatively higher acceptance rate.
Remember, accessibility can vary a bit depending upon your specific academic profile, but these are generally accessible to many students while offering a strong program. Be sure to research more about each program and university's specific requirements to make sure they make a good fit for you. All the best on your journey ahead!
