How to read this page.
North Carolina has 162 nursing program records in IPEDS 2023, distributed as 59 ADN, 37 LPN-LVN, 33 BSN, 19 Direct-entry-MSN, 10 Diploma, and 4 ABSN. Filter below by credential, control, accreditation, NCLEX pass rate, or annual cost. Pass rates appear where they have been loaded from the state Board of Nursing; everywhere else we render N/A and point you back to the board for the latest first-time rate.
We do not assert that a program is "approved" or that any applicant will be admitted. Use this as a starting point and verify accreditation, approval status, and pass-rate currency with the program and the North Carolina Board of Nursing.
Common questions about North Carolina nursing programs
- How many nursing programs are in North Carolina?
- IPEDS lists 162 program records in North Carolina across all credential types (LPN/LVN through direct-entry MSN) as of the 2023 release. Some schools appear more than once because they offer multiple credential types (for example, an ADN and a BSN at the same campus).
- What is the NCLEX pass rate for North Carolina programs?
- Pass-rate data is published by each state's Board of Nursing on its own schedule. NursingFloor has not yet bridged North Carolina's per-program rates into the national directory; the cards on this page show N/A and we link out to the source. The North Carolina Board of Nursing publishes the most recent first-time NCLEX pass rate per program. Attrition and pass-rate years are reported separately; never read them as the same period.
- Are these programs approved or accredited?
- Two different things. State approval to operate is a Board of Nursing decision and is separate from national programmatic accreditation. Programmatic accreditation in nursing is granted by ACEN or CCNE; NursingFloor matches accreditation per program where the source directories agree. We do not claim approval on behalf of any program; verify both approval and accreditation directly with your state Board of Nursing.
