Recognition such as this continues to reaffirm the quality of nursing education our students receive here at Nicholls. We are thrilled.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nicholls nursing graduates typically pass the national licensure exam at a rate higher than the state and national average. One hundred percent of nursing graduates are employed or in graduate school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates the demand for registered nurses will grow 7 percent by 2029. The median annual wage for registered nurses is $73,300.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nicholls Nursing is the most popular program on campus, and it\u2019s also one of the most successful programs in the South. Students receive a hands-on education from award-winning and experienced faculty. Nicholls alumni make up about 80 percent of the Bayou Region&#8217;s nurses. The BSN Program is approved by the Louisiana State Board of Nursing and nationally accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).\u00a0 For more information, call 448-4696 or visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nicholls.edu\/nursing\/\">https:\/\/www.nicholls.edu\/nursing\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RNtoBSNProgram.com compares thousands of universities based on price, location and degree type.
