Mississippi University for Women’s College of Nursing and Health Science recently received two No. 1 rankings.

The W received a top score of 99.56 and was named the Best Nursing School in the state of Mississippi – ADN, BSN, MSN, according to RegisteredNursing.org. Niche also ranked The W as the No. 1 college for Nursing in the state.

“Mississippi University for Women is home to excellent nursing degree programs, including associate and bachelor’s degree routes,” RegisteredNursing.org said. “Nursing students learn to integrate clinical excellence with advanced practical concepts to advance the nursing profession. Students also get the benefits of a dedicated Nursing Learning Resource Center and the guidance of experienced faculty.”

According to RegisteredNursing.org, the state of Mississippi has an aging population that is starting to require more and more skilled registered nurses, which makes nursing education necessary, not only for those just starting out in the career but also for existing nurses looking to advance in the industry. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the average registered nurse in Mississippi makes an annual salary of approximately $56,980.

RegisteredNursing.org ranked the top 10 nursing schools in Mississippi by analyzing current and historical NCLEX-RN “pass rates”, or the percentage of graduates who pass the exam, out of the 23 RN programs in the state. Programs reviewed include schools that offer an Associate in Nursing (ADN/ASN), BSN, or Direct-Entry MSN Degree.
