Unlock Opportunity in Nursing Education
As the shortage of nurses continues to accelerate, traditional campus-based pre-licensure nursing programs haven’t been able to keep pace with the growing need for RNs. Yet in 2022, universities turned down over 65,000 qualified applications for entry-level Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs1.
Your university can unlock opportunity for aspiring nursing students with the Distance Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN).
Designed for second-degree students, the Distance ABSN program model utilizes a combination of online didactic coursework, concentrated campus immersions, and hands-on clinical experiences near the students’ home communities to help students achieve high-quality learning outcomes and prepare for careers as licensed RNs – all in far less time than a traditional BSN.
