Accelerated BS in Nursing

Saint Joseph’s School of Nursing

Ready to accelerate your path toward a rewarding new nursing career? Our 16-month ABSN program through the University’s Saint Joseph’s School of Nursing is ideal for career changers and second-degree students because it offers:

  • Three start dates a year, in January, May, and September.
  • An accredited curriculum led by supportive, highly qualified faculty.
  • State-of-the-art learning facilities in our program sites based in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Yonkers.

Mount Saint Vincent’s Accelerated BS in Nursing program for non-nurses can help you make it happen. Ideal for those in pursuit of a new professional path, our accelerated nursing program is for second degree holders with a non-nursing degree, allowing you to apply your non-nursing bachelor’s degree to begin your nursing career sooner.

Through our three-part ABSN program, you can expect to learn key nursing theory concepts via accelerated nursing coursework and on-site labs at our convenient ABSN program site locations, then put that knowledge and skills into practice during clinical rotations at top healthcare facilities starting your first semester.

The only difference between our accelerated nursing program and a traditional BS in Nursing program is the amount of time it takes to complete—you’ll receive the same high-quality education in our ABSN program, just on a much shorter timeline. While a rigorous pursuit, earning your nursing degree from the University of Mount Saint Vincent is well worth the effort. As a graduate of our program, you’ll be qualified to sit for the NCLEX-RN® licensure exam and launch your nursing career.
