Already licensed? Next credentials for New York nurses

Pass rates and sticker price are for the first license. Working RNs in New York often stack an online RN-to-BSN, then an NP specialty. Online RN-to-BSN options serving New York include Walden University at $27,710 listed total tuition in our directory. New York grants nurse practitioners full practice authority: NPs can evaluate patients, diagnose, order and interpret diagnostic tests, and prescribe medications — including controlled substances — under the exclusive licensure authority of the state board of nursing, without a required physician collaboration agreement.

How do I find nursing schools with high NCLEX pass rates in New York?

Use the board-reported table on this page — 118 New York board-reported first-time RN rates from cohorts of 10+ candidates. Compare those rates against the average of listed programs (unweighted) (85.1%) and the national reference (86.7%). Small cohorts under 10 candidates are excluded because 100% rates from tiny samples are statistically unreliable.

The primary table lists 118 board-reported first-time RN NCLEX rates (latest year, N≥10): 29 live-directory schools and 89 board-reported names not in our live directory. A secondary directory section may list programs serving New York that also publish a program-level figure — treat board data as authoritative for licensure outcomes.
