What are the top 5-10 nursing schools in the US? Why are they considered the best?

I want to major in Nursing in college and maybe become a nurse practitioner.

The issue of course is what ‘the best’ means. Rankings are rarely made by educators, and are often used to sell magazines. If I wanted to rank any schools (I am in education) I would look at experiences and outcomes. Outcomes are easy, how many students pass the exam. What are the average scores on this exam for students. That stuff should be available on their web sites. Another good source is the accrediting agencies NLNAC and CCNE are good starting points.

As to the experiences, what happens in classes and what happens out of class – so academics and campus atmosphere. Those are hard to rank, but if the campus has a NSSE report, find it and look it over as it will tell you what the students think about their campus.
