UTC’s School of Nursing has been included in Nurse Journal’s most recent rankings of America’s Best Nursing schools for the Eastern Region for the year 2015.
Nurse Journal sorted over 1100 different schools into five different categories that included quality, affordability, convenience, satisfaction and value in order to find the best nursing schools in the Eastern Region.
Dr. Christine Benz Smith, Director of the UTC School of Nursing says, “It is very rewarding to be recognized as an outstanding program. However, it is important to remember that it is the faculty, staff, and students that are the heart of the program. When you have faculty and staff who love what they do and students who are eager to learn about the profession, the result should be a program that is top ranked.”
This is the second national recognition in three for UTC’S School of Nursing as well as being ranked sixth in the country for our RN-BSN program.
Smith went on to say, “We are very pleased to achieve these ratings and will continue to work hard to live up to this recognition.”
UTC is confident that these previous findings as well as Nurse Journal’s most recent rankings will be used by future students as a guide in choosing which schools to attend in the years to come. Click here to view the rankings.
