Two New Hampshire university nursing schools have been named among the top 100 in the nation. Rivier University in Nashua and the University of New Hampshire in Durham were recognized in the top 100 rankings for 2020 issued by the Nursing Schools Almanac. âThis is a real honor for us, and we are very proud, especially our faculty who works so hard with students who desperately want to become nurses,â said Dr. Paula Williams, Dean of the Division of Nursing and Health Professions at Rivier University. âIt is a big, serious decision to become a nurse right now, especially while dealing with COVID-19. These individuals are out there working on the front lines.â
