What are some good nursing schools in Georgia to get my BSN?
I'm currently in a community college in New Jersey and was looking into moving down to Georgia after I get my associates to get my BSN.

One of the best ways to gauge how good a nursing school is at educating their students is by looking at their NCLEX pass rate. Often though it really depends on what you are looking for in a school. In example smaller class sizes more concentrated study or less. Flexibility can be a deciding factor. I have a friend who decided to do her BSN online because she was able to do more when she could and less when she was really busy with work or family.
Here is a link to the pass rate from the Georgia Board of Nursing.

Also allnurses.com is a forum you will find nurses discussing local hospitals, schools and pay rates for where ever you decide to work. I highly recommend it! I have posted the link to a search I performed for top schools in GA, below.
FYI, I found one forum where they discussed that there are schools that "wash" students out to increase their pass rates for the NCLEX.
Good luck with your decision.
