The Texas A&M College of Nursing recently received recognition from two different organizations naming the college as one of the top nursing schools in the state.

The Texas A&M College of Nursing was ranked the No. 1 nursing program in Texas by RegisteredNursing.org. The organization evaluates Texas nursing programs based on how well they support students to licensure and beyond, by analyzing current and historical NCLEX-RN pass rates.

In the other recent ranking, Niche.com ranked the College of Nursing the second-best nursing college in Texas for 2017. Niche analyzes each college’s academic, admissions, financial and student life data from the U.S. Department of Education, in addition to reviews from current and former students.

“Receiving recognition from external organizations that evaluate nursing programs helps to shine a light on the dedication and accomplishments of our faculty and students,” said Dean Sharon A. Wilkerson. “As a fairly new college, we are proud of the many milestones achieved thus far and look forward to opening registration for our master’s in forensic nursing and to developing doctoral nursing programs in the future.

“These recent accolades highlight the dedication that will continue to advance our effort to graduate the best-prepared nurses and nurse educators in the state, to help address the critical shortage of nurses and primary care practitioners.”
