New Format for ABSN Program

The Nursing Division is introducing a new format for its Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program. Recognizing the importance of flexibility and accessibility, Mercy College will use a hybrid format for the ABSN program, leveraging technology to offer all lecture classes online. This format allows students to conveniently access course materials and engage in interactive learning experiences remotely, and conveniently complete clinicals.

This innovative approach is designed to meet the growing demand for nurses while accommodating the needs of working professionals and students residing outside the Toledo area. The ABSN program is a rigorous, four-consecutive semester program specifically tailored for individuals holding a non-nursing bachelor's degree.

The new scheduling is specifically designed to support working students. Clinicals and labs will mostly be conducted over four or five extended weekends each semester, empowering students to balance their professional commitments throughout the week while receiving comprehensive hands-on preparation.
