See Villanova, Eastern University Nursing School Rankings

RADNOR TOWNSHIP, PA — Nurses are among the most important healthcare workers in the field. And in Pennsylvania, we have some stellar nursing schools, some of which are right here in Radnor.

RegisteredNursing.org recently release its 3rd Annual State RN Program Rankings.

The ranks were calculated by analyzing current and historical NCLEX-RN "pass rates," meaning the percentage of graduates who pass the exam, out of the 77 RN programs in the state.

And two Radnor Township institutions made the list.

Eastern University in Wayne and Villanova University in Villanova were featured on the list.

Eastern was ranked in the top 10, coming in at the state's ninth best nursing program.

Villanova came in at No. 25.

Other area programs in the top 30 include Temple University, Neumann College, Drexel University, UPenn, and Roxborough Memorial Hospital.
