Absolutely, there are several renowned nursing programs across the U.S that consistently rank high based on their commitment to academic rigor, the breadth of their courses, and their track record of student success.

One of the top nursing schools in the country is the University of Pennsylvania's School of Nursing. They offer a traditional 4-year BSN, a 2nd degree BSN, a nursing and healthcare management dual degree, and the Hillman BSN to PhD program.

Next, is Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing that is widely recognized for its excellence in nursing education. Their program offers students the chance to learn from top practitioners in the medical field.

The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) also has a highly-rated nursing program. Their School of Nursing offers a traditional BSN, an RN to BSN program, an MSN for advanced practice, and a PhD in Nursing program.
