Our Values
Attentive
We pay close attention to the details, alerting you to the information most relevant to your career.
Caring
Like you, we care deeply about the future of the nursing profession and we want to help you become your best nurse.
Knowledgeable
We need to know the details to do our job to support you doing yours, so we publish content for nurses, written and medically reviewed by nurses.

Ambitious
The nursing profession is always evolving, and so are we. We monitor, survey and publish thought-provoking content to help you succeed.
Impactful
We have our finger on the pulse of issues that matter to nurses most.
Editorial Process
We are committed to providing nurses with trusted education, career, and clinical information that will help them advance their careers. To make sure that our content is reliable, trustworthy, and up-to-date, we've developed a rigorous editorial process:
Experienced Authors
We rely on a team of 80+ experienced nurses and healthcare professionals to write and review our content. Our nurse contributors are licensed, practicing nurses who are experts in their respective specialties.
Expert Reviews Process
We added an additional step in our content review process where we have a nurse review our content for clinical accuracy and nursing expertise. Pages that have been reviewed by an expert are labeled with a reviewer byline.
Consistent Updates
We continuously review our articles to ensure they are as relevant and accurate as possible, updating them with the latest data and information when it becomes available.
Data-Driven Rankings
Nurse.org's rankings are determined by a proprietary ranking algorithm that uses the latest and most robust U.S. government data sets, specifically the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) and College Scorecard. Learn more about our ranking methodology.
Unbiased Product Reviews
We independently research products for nurses and strive to write recommendations that genuinely reflect our true opinion of the product or service. Where relevant, our recommendations may incorporate feedback from 500,000+ nurses in our social communities.
Trusted Sources
Our sources are transparent and linked within each article. We primarily get our career and salary data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS). In cases where that data isn't available for a particular career or specialty, we then source from reputable sites such as Payscale, ZipRecruiter, and Glassdoor. Learn more about the third-party data resources we utilize here.
For articles covering clinical information, we cite only reputable medical sources from the World Health Organization (WHO), research institutions like the Mayo Clinic, and associations like the ANA, as well as academic and medical journals.
When we cover breaking news, we attempt to reach out to the relevant organizations who are covered for comment, and we will update the news article with additional information as it becomes available. On occasion, we will invite 3rd parties to write opinion pieces, but they are always clearly marked as such. And, if we find we have reported on a topic inaccurately, we will update the article and clearly note that we have done so.
Diverse Perspectives
Since not all nurses are the same, we also strive to provide diverse perspectives, inclusive of all genders, ages, races, sexual orientations, and political affiliations.
Award-Winning Content
Our content and community have won countless awards and been recognized by leading health organizations. See our awards and accolades here.

Our History
Nurse.org was acquired by the media company, Full Beaker, Inc., in 2015. Prior to that, Nurse.org changed hands a number of times and was once even owned by a leading nursing association.
The Nurse.org that exists today was developed after significant market research and numerous interviews with practicing nurses to make sure we were serving a need in the nursing community. We saw an opportunity to build a robust website and community for nurses around the world, helping them throughout every stage of their nursing career. Today, Nurse.org is the largest website and community of nurses online.
How is Nurse.org Funded?
Nurse.org is free to use and is supported by advertising education programs and other products that are relevant to nurses. We may receive compensation when site visitors use our educational program search tool or interact with advertisements located throughout the site. These advertisements do not affect our school or program rankings, or our editorial content. These are generated independently by our editorial staff and nurse contributors.
Because we value transparency, wherever possible, we clearly mark advertisements as sponsored schools to differentiate them from our unbiased editorial content. Learn more about our advertising policy here..
