UCLA is as important to California as Harvard is to Massachusetts.

Not only does UCLA have the best nursing programs in the Gold Coast, but also the 419-acre campus easily makes its claim as one of the best public universities nationally.

Rooted in equality, inclusivity, and diversity, the public research uni admits people of diverse ethnicities and cultures. On top of this, they maintain small classes to ensure students get personalized attention.

The quality of nursing education is clearly suggested by the consistently high NCLEX-RN pass rates, most recently a 96% pass rate. Quite assuring, right?

We like that the nursing school forges a nice balance between class and clinical work. With institutions like the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, a massive biomedical library, state-of-the-art simulated laboratories, and more to instill students with the necessary clinical skills.

The school offers five nursing programs, including an MSN program for people that would wish to switch careers and PhD and Advanced Practice programs for registered nurses that would wish to advance in their careers.
