Thank you comment icon <html><head></head><body>What type of nurse are you interested in being? Different types of nurses go to different types of college--from 2 yr community college to masters programs (see answers to this question <a href="http://careervillage.org/questions/96/how-long-do-you-have-to-go-to-school-to-be-a-nurse" rel="nofollow">http://careervillage.org/questions/96/how-long-do-you-have-to-go-to-school-to-be-a-nurse</a>).

<span style="background-color: transparent;">Collegeboard.org is a great resource for this! I poured through the pages of universities all over the U.S. when I was a senior in high school. Collegeboard was my go-to site! They put all of the information in one place and it is very easy to use. They even have various filters you can apply to see only colleges that have programs you are interested. To determine academic rigor, look at the admissions requirements, G.P.A. of past admitted applicants, SAT/ACT scores, class rank etc. This will give you an idea of what scores and grades you need to be accepted. However, don't be discouraged your application will be reviewed based on the full picture! College-board will help you get an idea of what is most important to the specific school you are applying to.</span>


This professional recommends the following next steps:

  • <span style="background-color: transparent;">Chat with your Guidance Counselor</span>
  • <span style="background-color: transparent;">Create a Collegeboard.org account</span>
  • <span style="background-color: transparent;">Start using CollegeBoard as a resource to look up schools.</span>

According to U.S. News & World Report, the School of Nursing at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, ranked as the best graduate nursing school in the nation in 2016. The university also made The Princeton Review's 'Best Northeastern College' and Green Colleges surveys for the same year. The School of Nursing offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Master of Science in Nursing with a specialty track. A combined Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Nursing is also available. Students may also pursue an accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing, after which they can participate in a paid residency in a nursing clinic while enrolled in a part-time Master of Science program.
