Nurse.org

What it is: Nurse.org is a resource website for nurse practitioners and aspiring nurses. The site offers a range of content including a blog covering current events, a career guide, job listings, and links to scholarships. 

Why it Matters to You: Nurse.org’s Hospital Reviews score hospitals on a scale of 5 stars, with 5 being the highest. The Reviews section does not rank the hospitals. Rather each hospital must be researched independently

Considerations: The reviews offered by Nurse.org are not supported by many submissions so it is not a sufficient sampling size. As such, the reviews as more useful as a reference than a determinative. The true worth of the website is in the career resources it offers.
