LeTourneau University's Nursing program was recognized this week in the release from RegisteredNursing.org as one of the top nursing programs in the state of Texas. According to their website, this ranking was conducted by "analyzing current and historical NCLEX-RN "pass rates", meaning the percentage of graduates who pass the exam, out of the 121 RN programs in the state. Programs reviewed include schools that offer an Associate in Nursing (ADN/ASN), BSN, or Direct-Entry MSN Degree." (View full ranking methodology HERE)

In addition to this ranking recognition, the LETU Nursing program has also recently received a re-affirmation of accreditation of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing, from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
According to the CCNE standards for Accreditation:
"The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) is an autonomous accrediting agency, contributing to the improvement of the public’s health. As part of this mission, CCNE is the standard-setting accrediting organization in the area of nurse residency and fellowship programs. . . . CCNE serves the public interest by assessing and identifying programs that engage in effective educational practices. . . CCNE was founded on the premise that a baccalaureate degree in nursing is the preferred educational preparation for entry to nursing practice."
