OUR METHODOLOGY+

To be considered for this ranking, schools were required to meet the following criteria:

• Accredited at the institutional level
• Private nonprofit or public school
• Minimum of 1 bachelor's or master's degree in subject area for 4-year schools
• Minimum of 1 associate degree or certificate program in subject area for 2-year schools

Schools were then scored on factors such as:

• Cost & Financial Aid
• Number and variety of program offerings
• Student-teacher ratios
• Graduation rates (4-year schools only)
• Placement and support services offered
• Academic/Career counseling services
• Employment services
• Loan default rates

These factors were assembled for each school and rated using a peer-based-value (PBV) calculation. PBV compares the cost of a program to the cost of other programs with the same (or similar) qualitative score and cost. PBV denotes the overall value or "bang for your buck" of a college or degree program.

Becoming a Licensed RN in Nebraska

Nurses in Nebraska must graduate from an approved nursing program and each state has its own requirements for different levels of nursing. The NDHHS issues licenses, monitors those practicing in the profession, responds to complaints, and disciplines those who violate the nursing code of conduct. Below is a list of requirements for those seeking licensure in Nebraska and well as renewal information for keeping that license active.

Licensing Requirements

• Earn an associate or bachelor's degree from a nursing program approved by the Nebraska DHHS
• Be at least 19 years old and demonstrate proof of age and citizenship with a state-issued identification and ID showing your permanent address
• Pass the NCLEX-RN. Those who hold a license in another state must show proof of a current, unrestricted license in that state, and meet one of the following: graduated from nursing school within the last two years, have at least 500 practical hours in the last five years, or have completed a review course within the last five years.
• Under the Nurse License Compact Act, licensed nurses in Nebraska (whose home state is Nebraska) receive a multi-state license that's valid in any Nurse Compact state. Individuals whose home state is not Nebraska can apply for a single-state license.
• Foreign graduates must pass the TOEFL to show English proficiency

Renewal Requirements

Registered nurses must renew their licenses by October 31 of each even-numbered year. One of the following continued competence requirements must be met to be eligible for renewal:

• Have practiced at least 500 hours during the last five years and complete 20 hours of continuing education within the last two years (of which only four can be from CPR or BLS and 10 must be peer-reviewed)
• Have graduated from a nursing program in the last two years
• Have graduated from a nursing program in the last five years and hold at least 20 contact hours of continuing education within the last two years (of which only four can be from CPR or BLS and 10 must be peer-reviewed)
• Have taken an approved refresher program within the last five years
• Have earned certification by a nationally-recognized organization in a nursing specialty

To renew a license, applicants will need to submit the renewal notice, provide proof of having met one of the qualifying continued competency requirements, and pay a fee of $123.

Advanced Practice Certification in Nebraska

Advanced practice certification is available for registered nurses who pursue additional education and expertise in a specialty area. In Nebraska, nurse anesthetists, clinical nurse specialists, nurse practitioners, and certified nurse midwives are qualified to serve as primary caregivers to patients; however, they must meet all the licensing requirements for registered nurses as well as:

• Hold a master's or doctorate in a clinical specialty area
• Have passed a national certification examination
• Pay the required certification and verification fees

Nebraska Nursing Numbers

Though Nebraska is a largely rural state, there's still a need for qualified nurses. The national Health Resources and Services Administration predicts Nebraska will have a deficit in the profession by 2025, which makes it an in-demand career. Salaries are generally in line with the national average, though they vary depending on the city or region. The data below shows where the best opportunities for nurses in Nebraska can be found.
