Rockhurst University Announces a Hybrid Accelerated BSN Program Online
Tuesday, Apr 26, 2022
Rockhurst University has launched a new online ABSN program, which offers an accelerated path to a rewarding role in healthcare as a BSN-prepared nurse. The program leverages students’ prior bachelor’s degrees in any field and provides comprehensive nursing education, both in the online classroom and in simulated and real-world clinical environments.
The healthcare industry is in dire need of new, skilled nurses due to burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic, the impending retirement of seasoned nurses, and a rapidly aging population. For these reasons, students may see a growing opportunity to switch careers to a meaningful and rewarding profession as a nurse.
Rockhurst University’s online ABSN program equips students to become BSN-prepared nurses in 16 months. The rigorous, full-time program consists of 100% online coursework, a 10-day on-campus immersion, and clinical rotations within the students’ communities. Students receive hands-on instruction and build their clinical skills in Rockhurst’s new state-of-the-art simulation lab and supervised rotations providing direct patient care.
