The Regis College Richard and Sheila Young School of Nursing is pleased to announce it is ranked among the top 10 best nursing schools in Massachusetts by Nurse.org, a website that publishes thought-provoking content and culture-changing initiatives for nurses and nursing students.
The panel-reviewed selection is based on a number of factors including reputation, NCLEX pass rate, tuition, and acceptance rate. Only Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) or Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) accredited schools are eligible.
The Young School of Nursing was recognized for receiving three consecutive National League of Nursing Center of Excellence designations since 2008. Nursing students have multiple options of study, including a traditional BSN, an accelerated second degree BSN, and a unique online BSN-DNP. Outside of the classroom, nursing students participate in clinicals in some of the most prestigious hospitals in the country. With small class sizes and four high-tech simulation labs, the Young School of Nursing provides its students experience-oriented nursing education.
“We are proud to be honored by Nurse.org and to be recognized for our students’ success,” said Provost Mary Erina Driscoll, PhD. “Given the acute shortage of nurses nationwide and here in Massachusetts, Regis is making meaningful contributions to educating the next generation of compassionate health care providers. One hundred percent of our undergraduate students, including nursing students, receive a scholarships, demonstrating our commitment to increasing access to a college degree.”
