Source: US Department of Education, College Scorecard. Credential names are the federal reporting categories. Earnings and debt are withheld where a school graduated fewer than 10 people in that credential, because a median from a handful of graduates is not meaningful. Institution-level figures cover the whole university, not the nursing school alone. Costs and program availability change, so confirm current details directly with the school.

Clinical learning and placements

Online nursing coursework does not necessarily mean the full program can be completed remotely. Prelicensure and advanced-practice pathways typically include supervised, in-person learning or skills requirements.

Ask the school directly

  1. Who identifies, arranges, and approves clinical sites?
  2. Can clinical requirements be completed near the student’s home?
  3. Are travel, campus intensives, or fixed weekday schedules required?
  4. Which background checks, health records, vaccinations, and documentation are required?

Accreditation and Nebraska licensure

Accreditation and professional eligibility are too important to infer from a directory listing. Confirm the institution’s and nursing program’s current status directly with the named accrediting organizations. Students seeking Nebraska licensure should also verify eligibility with the Nebraska Board of Nursing before enrolling.

Look beyond tuition

Costs and financial aid

Request a current estimate that includes tuition, mandatory fees, technology, books, uniforms, equipment, compliance documentation, travel, and other clinical expenses. Ask which financial-aid and scholarship options apply to your program and enrollment status.
