Accelerated Nursing Program: Online Coursework
Harding University’s accelerated nursing program uses a hybrid method that gives students a high-quality nursing education. The accelerated nursing program’s online coursework provides students with a knowledge base that is then expanded with hands-on labs and clinical rotations near our ABSN program site in Rogers, Arkansas.
How Online Learning Works in an Accelerated BSN
This hybrid approach offers convenience and flexibility. It’s important to note, however, that you will be completing online accelerated coursework in real-time with peers in your cohort and will be held accountable for meeting instructors’ deadlines. You must also make time to appear for in-person proctored exams at our ABSN program site in Rogers, Arkansas.
In the accelerated nursing program, online coursework:
- Is kept on an intuitive e-learning platform
- Covers essential nursing theory and concepts needed to excel in a nursing career
- Provides a nursing foundation, which students then use to build skills in labs and clinical placements
- Incorporates NCLEX-RN exam preparation to help students feel confident on exam day and as they enter the workforce
Though our hybrid accelerated BSN program is partially online, it is just as rigorous as a traditional on-campus program. You can expect to graduate from our program in as few as 16 months, ready for the NCLEX and to earn your nursing license, the same as if you chose a four-year program.
