Concordia Accelerated Nursing Program in St. Paul and Portland
America needs caring, confident nurses now more than ever. Fortunately, it’s possible to enter this life-saving profession in as few as 16 months with Concordia’s Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program. This innovative, accelerated nursing program blends interactive, online coursework with relevant, experiential learning in skills labs and clinical learning environments, so you graduate ready to take the NCLEX-RN® and destined to touch countless lives.
The ABSN program, like nursing, isn’t for everyone, though. For the Concordia accelerated nursing program, you must have at least 54 non-nursing college credits (including designated prerequisites and general education coursework) and the academic track record to excel in this rigorous program.
The Concordia accelerated nursing program offers:
- A comprehensive curriculum featuring online courses, well-equipped skills labs, and clinical learning experiences
- An emphasis on evidence-based care that serves the needs of culturally diverse populations
- ABSN learning sites located in both St. Paul, Minnesota, and Portland, Oregon
