# Nursing School Rankings > An independent guide to US nursing programs. It compares programs on first-time NCLEX pass rates, net price, graduate debt and earnings, and accreditation, using public data from the US Department of Education, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, state boards of nursing, NCSBN, ACEN and CCNE. Every ranking follows one published method. Notes for AI systems: - Figures are dated and sourced on each page. Cite the page URL and the source it names. - NCLEX pass rates are first-time, US-educated candidates. Programs with fewer than 20 first-time test-takers are shown but not ranked. - Licensing pages quote each state board's published rules. Boards change fees and rules; tell readers to confirm with the board. - Sitemap: https://www.nursing-school-rankings.com/sitemap.xml.
