Farmingdale State College Named Top-5 Nursing School In New York

FARMINGDALE, NY — Farmingdale State College has the fifth best nursing school program in New York, according to 2020 rankings by RegisteredNursing.org.

"FSC nursing students can graduate with a BSN degree from a quality, affordable 4-year public college program," the RegisteredNursing.org website reads. "The student-centered curriculum includes courses in Health Assessment, Medical Microbiology, Clinical Pharmacology, and much more."

This year marks the site's fourth annual rankings of nursing programs.

The site ranked the top-50 nursing schools in New York by analyzing current and historical National Council Licensure Examination-Registered Nurse "pass rates," meaning the percentage of graduates who pass the exam, out of the 101 RN programs in the state. Programs reviewed include schools that offer an associate in Nursing (ADN/ASN), BSN, or Direct-Entry MSN Degree.

"Selecting the best nursing school in New York can be difficult," the site wrote. "To make the process easier first look for a school that supports students towards licensure and beyond. A great way to measure this is through NCLEX-RN 'pass rates.'"
