The Nursing School at the University of Tennessee Southern has achieved recognition as the premier nursing program in the state, as reported by WKSR and confirmed by RegisteredNursing.org. This prestigious accolade was awarded due to the program’s remarkable accomplishment of a 100 percent pass rate for first-time candidates taking the NCLEX, coupled with impressive job placement statistics for its graduates.
University officials emphasize that this ranking not only underscores the quality of education provided at UT Southern but also reflects the institution’s commitment to tackling the ongoing nursing shortage that is being felt across the nation. Furthermore, they highlight the program’s significant contribution to enhancing healthcare services in Giles County and throughout the state of Tennessee.
