About This Program
The Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (A-BSN) is a fast-paced program that prepares students for a career in nursing. Designed for those who already hold a bachelor's degree (in any field), graduates of this 15-month program can take the National Council Licensing Examination (NCLEX) required for licensure as a registered nurse (RN).
...
It typically takes just four (4) consecutive semesters to complete the courses required for licensure. In this time, students learn to assess, restore, maintain, promote, and evaluate the health of individuals, families, groups, communities and populations. Nursing courses include classroom instruction and clinical laboratories in patient care settings.
Job Outlook: Health and Human Services
There are currently 2.21 million unique postings in the health care and social assistance industry that require a bachelor’s (1.83M) or master’s (694,928) degree. California has the highest demand for occupations within this industry with 230,256 job postings.
What do Nursing graduates do?
The A-BSN provides specific clinical education to prepare students for practice in a variety of health-related settings with an emphasis on hands-on experience. To accomplish this, the program arranges placements for students at hospitals and clinical facilities in the greater Los Angeles area. Each student receives their clinical placements at varying locations.
The university works with hundreds of partners in the health care industry – from major hospitals to smaller, community-based clinics – to find the right fit for each individual. This allows students to focus on learning the methods, principles and practices of nursing, without worrying about the logistics.
Upon graduating, many students go on to work at one of the hospitals at which they completed their clinical training.
