Danbury’s Western Connecticut State University (WCSU) announced it will begin offering its Accelerated Bachelor’s in Nursing (AbiN) Program in the Spring 2024 semester.
According to the school, the AbiN Program is designed for students “who already has a Bachelor’s degree in another field, to be able to complete the remaining nursing classes within 13 months. Once the degree is conferred in August, the student will be able to sit for the national RN licensure exam. The traditional student is not a candidate for this accelerated nursing program.”
The new program is being financed as part of the $1.5 million CT Horizons Workforce Grant that was allocated to WCSU in March. The school added the program “will address the workforce needs and wellbeing of communities by addressing the nursing workforce shortage in Connecticut.”
