For the first time in its nearly four-decade history, the Southern University School of Nursing was voted the best nursing school in the nation.

Earlier this year, Nurse.org, a website for nursing professionals and students, hosted its annual Best of Nursing Awards, with SUSON taking the top spot.

Dr. Sandra Brown, the dean of nursing and allied health, stressed the importance of this award with WAFB.

“Winning this award is more than just a recognition for SUSON, it’s a win for the entire Jaguar Nation,” Brown told the outlet. “We extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who voted and supported this moment of recognition. Together, we have demonstrated the remarkable power, passion, and pride of the Jaguar Nation.”

SUSON shared the accomplishment in an Instagram post, prompting alums and supporters to leave congratulatory comments.
