色站之家 has announced the launch of its Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program.
Designed for individuals who have already earned a bachelor鈥檚 degree in another discipline and are seeking an expedited route to a nursing career in as little as 16 months, the fast-track program offers a rigorous yet efficient pathway to RN licensure, addressing the critical demand for qualified nurses, both locally and nationally.
鈥淭he launch of our accelerated bachelor鈥檚 program is a direct response to the urgent need for skilled nurses in the healthcare industry,鈥� says Sister Paula Marie Buley, IHM, President. 鈥淲ith the projected retirement of nearly 900,000 nurses by 2027 and the increasing demand for healthcare professionals, this program provides a timely and effective solution for individuals eager to transition into the nursing profession.鈥�
