Why is the UW School of Nursing ranked #1?
Since 1984, the School has received top ranking nationwide in three surveys of schools of nursing and tied for this honor in the March 1993 and 1995 issues of U.S. News and World Report. This distinction is based on faculty excellence and productivity, quality of graduates, and school leadership. The School also has the largest number of fellows in the American Academy of Nursing, a prestigious honor society for nursing leaders, when compared to other schools of nursing.
