St. Paul ABSN Learning Site

Students in Minnesota are able to earn their nursing degree in as few as 16 months at our St. Paul Accelerated BSN learning site. Home to CSP Global, the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area grew by 10.7% from the 2010 census to the 2020 census. The growth of the area translates into a wealth of opportunities for the Twin Cities’ increasingly diverse population. This makes St. Paul and the surrounding metropolitan area — with its vibrant culture and near-limitless things to do — an exciting place to live, learn and start your new career in nursing.

In fact, not only does the Minneapolis area rank eighth for best cities for young professionals, but Minnesota is also one of the best states for registered nurse pay. In 2020, RNs in the Gopher State earned an annual mean salary of $80,960, according to NurseJournal. That makes Minnesota No. 14 for RN pay nationwide.

Portland ABSN Locations

America’s West Coast is among the areas hardest hit by the nursing shortage, and the need for nurses is evident in the fact that the BLS ranked Oregon as the third-highest paying state in the nation for RNs. To help meet the demand, CSP Global in Portland offers two Accelerated BSN learning site locations, one on PDX’s west side, near Beaverton, and one on the city’s northeast side near the Columbia River.

Relocating To Portland, Oregon

Not to mention, Portland ranks No. 7 among the best cities to start a small business and fourth among the healthiest cities in the U.S. These statistics make Portland a great place to not only earn your BSN degree, but also the perfect place to begin your career as an RN.
