Top 30 Cutting-Edge Nursing Schools Released by NursingSchoolHub.com

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Nov. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Nursing School Hub has released a ranked list of the top 30 cutting-edge nursing schools. The full ranking can be viewed at this link: http://www.nursingschoolhub.com/cutting-edge-nursing/

Nursing School Hub's ranking of top nursing schools is the most comprehensive to date, and attempts to be all-encompassing, using factors such as: amazing architecture, cutting-edge technology / infrastructure, world-class facilities, world-class faculty, excellent opportunities for experience, and recognition by major publications (US News & World Report).

"With modern technology becoming less expensive and easier to integrate into everyday systems, it is easy to provide students with a high-tech education. In order to provide a cutting-edge experience, a school needs to do more than just provide high-tech equipment. To make this ranking, a school has to be technologically advanced, but they also have to do a great job of integrating technology into the nursing experience. These schools are the best of the best, they strive to provide students with educational opportunities and experiences that other programs simply can't compare with," said Chris Collier, chief author and researcher for the list.

Nursing education is becoming increasingly important in our modern society, as the demand for nurses increases with over half a million jobs becoming available in the next decade. Nursing, unlike other professions, allows individuals to choose a variety of settings. There are a range of positions available in hospitals, including head nurses, nurses devoted to pediatrics, nurses for the maternity ward, and emergency room staff. Nurses can work in clinics and private practices. Nursing homes are always in search of nurses to supplement their staff. School districts have nurses on board as well. There are also opportunities to be had as traveling nurses who visit patients in the home and across the globe. The best nurses demand the best nursing education. This Nursing School Hub ranking aims to measure the best of the best, taking these various purposes into consideration.

NursingSchoolHub.com reviews publicly available data and then produces independent ranking assessments of various educational programs as well as student guides and resources. The mission of Nursing School Hub is to produce college rankings and resources in general that are useful to prospective and current higher education students. Nursing School Hub recognizes that no ranking system is perfect, and recommends that their ratings be used only as a general guide for choosing a quality school.
