Our Data & Editorial Standards

Useful comparisons begin with facts you can trace.

What this first directory includes

25 selected programs at 13 schools across 3 states. Coverage is growing; this is not a complete directory or a ranking. Listings are based on official program pages reviewed on September 6, 2026. Multi-campus programs are counted once unless separately researched.

What “reviewed” means

The review date covers the basic facts shown in the listing: program identity, pathway, learning format, described duration, location notes and starting requirements. It does not mean every claim on the school’s website has been independently verified.

When official sources disagree

We identify the discrepancy and direct you to the relevant sources. For example, the University of Southern Maine’s program and admissions pages currently describe different accelerated-program durations. We do not silently choose one.

Costs must be comparable

Our initial cost notes identify the published rate, the covered coursework, known exclusions, and the source-review date. Where a source does not identify an academic year, we say so. Rates are not personalized quotes or complete cost-of-attendance estimates. Institution-wide net price is not presented as nursing-program tuition.

Accreditation and board approval

We will verify these separately against the relevant accreditor and state board. Institutional accreditation, nursing program accreditation and state approval are distinct records. Until that work is complete, the directory displays “Not yet verified.”

NCLEX results need context

Any future NCLEX comparison will identify exam type, reporting period, first-time or repeat candidates, and the program or campus to which the result belongs. We will preserve missing candidate counts and avoid assigning a school-wide result to an unrelated program.

Commercial relationships

No school pays for placement in this initial directory, and no paid matching service is connected. Future sponsored placements will be labeled and kept distinct from ordinary comparison results. My Nurse Recruiter is reserved as a future matching brand.

Website imagery

Our general nursing and student images are AI-generated illustrations. They do not depict students, staff, or facilities at the schools listed in our directory and are not testimonials.

Corrections and review

These guides are prepared by the Nursing-Programs.org editorial team from linked sources. They have not yet undergone review by a credentialed nursing-education specialist. Report a correction with the page address and an official supporting source to support@coelenterprises.com.
