The curriculum has been specially designed in order to prepare you to hit the ground running as a registered nurse.

You'll be immersed in content, with clinical courses taken concurrently with the corresponding theory course. Web-based resources are used side-by-side with clinical, lab, and simulation experiences. Our ABSN is the complete package. So if you're serious about streamlining your next career move while promoting active, engaged learning, Concordia is serious about helping you get there.
