Nursing Schools Near Me is an educational resource built for nursing students at every stage of their journey — from choosing a program to passing the NCLEX and advancing into specialty practice. We exist because nursing education content on the internet is often written by people who have never worked a clinical shift. We wanted something better.
Who we are
This site is independently operated. We have no financial relationship with any nursing school, program, or clinical employer listed or discussed here. Our school listings and program information are published as a resource; we do not accept payment for placement or favorable coverage. Our revenue comes from display advertising only.
Our author
Lindsay Smith, AGPCNP-BC researches and writes the clinical and educational content on this site. Lindsay is a board-certified Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner — a credential issued by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) to advanced practice nurses who have completed graduate-level training in primary care across the adult lifespan.
Her clinical background spans acute care as a registered nurse and primary care as an NP. That dual perspective informs every article: the clinical content reflects what nurses encounter on the floor, and the education content reflects the reality of navigating nursing school, NCLEX preparation, and early-career decisions without a clear roadmap.
Lindsay holds a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) with a specialization in Adult-Gerontology Primary Care. She maintains active board certification through the AANP and engages in continuing education as required for certification maintenance.
Our editorial standards
All clinical content on this site is researched against authoritative primary sources before publication. We cite federal health agencies (NIH, CDC, HRSA), professional nursing organizations (NCSBN, ANA, AANP, AACN), and state boards of nursing for regulatory information. For content covering medications, clinical criteria, or nursing procedures, we cross-reference at least two primary sources.
We do not cite other nursing education blogs as primary sources. We do not publish clinical claims that cannot be traced to a primary source.
How we handle updates
Clinical guidelines change. Licensing requirements change. NCLEX pass rates and program accreditation statuses change. Each article displays its last-modified date, and when guidance or regulatory rules shift, the relevant content is flagged and updated within 30 days of the change becoming publicly available. If you spot something that's out of date, tell us — we take corrections seriously.
What this site is not
Nursing Schools Near Me is an educational resource, not a clinical decision tool. Nothing on this site replaces the clinical judgment of a qualified nurse, the protocols of a healthcare institution, or the advice of a licensed healthcare provider. The medical disclaimer in the footer of every page is not boilerplate — we mean it.
