How Our ABSN Program Works
Our ABSN program builds on your non-nursing bachelor’s degree, so you can earn a quality BSN in as few as 16 months. The full-time four-semester program features a rigorous blend of online and onsite curriculum.
- Online courses teach the fundamentals and theories of the nursing profession.
- Nursing labs focus on hands-on skill development and clinical judgment.
- Clinical rotations provide real-world experience in diverse areas of practice.
These learning components provide the academic foundation and clinical preparedness required to sit for the NCLEX-RN® exam with confidence and enter the profession as a practice-ready nurse.
