Where people train for it in Louisiana
3,281 people finished registered nursing programs at 28 schools in Louisiana in 2023-24, the programs this specialty starts from. The schools with the most graduates:

Graduates of every award level, from short certificates to degrees, at the schools that report to the federal survey (those in the federal student aid system): short courses run by employers, the Red Cross or adult education are not counted. Online schools count where they are based, so a school teaching online across the country appears in its home state. Bachelor's degrees in nursing include RN-to-BSN completers who were already licensed nurses; the large online universities graduate mostly these. From the U.S. Department of Education's completions survey, 2023-24: nces.ed.gov/ipeds (source: the U.S. Department of Education (IPEDS))
