HERE TO HELP YOU MOVE FORWARD
Our Data & Editorial Standards
Useful comparisons begin with facts you can trace.
What the directory includes
28 selected programs at 16 schools across 3 states. Coverage includes selected programs, not every school or pathway. Listings are not rankings. Listings link to official program pages. Basic program details and individual cost, accreditation, approval, and NCLEX observations display their own source-review dates. 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 cost notes cover all 25 selected listings and 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 check nursing accreditation and state-board listings separately. Accreditation observations have been cross-checked against the CCNE or ACEN directory. Multi-campus entries preserve the campus-specific sources. A degree-level accreditation entry does not separately verify every admission track. State-board listings are not guarantees of individual licensure eligibility. Missing records display “Not yet verified.”
NCLEX results need context
Our NCLEX observations use completed calendar year 2025, identifying first-time NCLEX-RN candidates and the reported program or campus. Maine reports candidate counts; the Connecticut and Massachusetts tables do not. Shared USM and UMass Amherst results are labeled as aggregates, not separate accelerated-track results. We do not calculate campus averages or apply initial-licensure results to RN-to-BSN and graduate programs. Newer partial-year data may be available from the linked boards.
Commercial relationships
No school pays for placement in this 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
