PULASKI, Tenn. - Pulaski is celebrating a major honor for higher education. The University of Tennessee Southern’s Nursing School has been named the Number One Nursing Program in Tennessee by RegisteredNursing.org in its 2026 statewide rankings.
This recognition highlights the program’s exceptional record of success, including a 100 percent first-time NCLEX pass rate and strong job placement for graduates. With a nationwide shortage of nurses, UT Southern’s program is playing a vital role in preparing the next generation of healthcare workers who are ready to serve in hospitals, clinics, and community settings.
Officials say the ranking affirms UT Southern’s commitment to excellence while making a direct impact on healthcare here in Giles County and across the state. You can view the full rankings at RegisteredNursing.org
