Why Relocate to St. Paul?

Our accelerated nursing program in St. Paul is a multimodal experience, blending online courses delivered through a dynamic e-learning platform with in-person labs and clinicals. Our program site location and clinicals mean you must live within the commuting range of St. Paul. This may mean relocation for students, so what makes a move to St. Paul worthwhile?

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the metropolitan area employs 39,540 nurses who work for an annual mean wage of $92,190, above the national average. This means that CSP’s ABSN program here is placed among the metro areas with the highest nursing employment level in the nation.

The Twin Cities are also a cultural and culinary hotspot with food halls, breweries, professional sports teams, arts, museums and more. St. Paul also offers a competitive cost of living, with housing costs 10% lower than the national average. Nurses who want to support patient and workplace advocacy further can also get involved with the Minnesota Nurses Association. This can help one to network and better advocate for patient care on a broader scale.

A BSN degree can set you up for a successful future career path.
