Registered Nursing Programs in Louisiana

Registered Nursing is a licensure degree: clinical rotations plus the NCLEX exam lead straight into hospital and clinic roles. It posts some of the highest one-year earnings of any bachelor major because demand is deep in nearly every metro.

Programs below are ranked only when a college figure rests on at least 100 graduates. Programs on 30 to 99 graduates carry a small-program flag and are listed, not ranked. Anything smaller shows the national median for the major, badged as such.
