NIH rankings for Schools of Nursing
This is a list of 98 U.S. nursing schools. (free) The National
Institutes of Health rankings are based solely upon the total amount
of research grant money allocated to individual nursing schools.
Note: NIH rankings are valued by research institutions, who believe
they signify the high quality of school researchers, whose initiatives
must be approved by a peer-review panel of experts.
Here is the direct link to the NIH rankings:

US News & World Report
?US News & World Report ranks master?s programs and specialties in
nursing schools that have received NLNAC accreditation. Health
sciences programs, which include nursing, are reassessed every third
year. ?
?US News uses a peer-review process that surveys two or three deans,
administrators and/or faculty members at each institution; these
respondents evaluate schools on a scale of 1 (marginal) to 5
(outstanding) based upon predetermined criteria that indicate a
school?s overall quality.?
?The standards concentrate on two areas: ?input? and ?output?
measures. Input measures gauge the quality of an institution?s
academic programs: factors can include academic preparation and
student-to-faculty ratios. Output measures assess how well the
graduate school prepares students for their professions: factors can
incorporate postgraduate employment rates and starting salaries.
Respondents can select a ?don?t know? option if they lack complete
knowledge about schools on the survey.?
