How the Madonna ABSN Program Works
Madonna University’s ABSN program in metro Detroit builds on your existing non-nursing college credits or undergraduate degree, making it possible to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree in as few as 16 months.
The curriculum requires a significant amount of time and energy to keep pace and involves a comprehensive learning model that consists of three stages – online coursework, hands-on labs, and clinical experience.
- Accelerated online nursing courses establish the foundation of your education.
- Onsite skills and state-of-the-art nursing simulation labs put your online course knowledge into practice.
- Clinical rotations provide diverse patient care experiences in a real-world environment.
Together, these three learning components prepare you to sit for the NCLEX-RN® licensure exam, so you’ll be able to call yourself a registered nurse and practice the profession in all types of healthcare settings.
