Nursing is a deeply rewarding vocation that makes a difference in the lives of patients, families, and communities. The Rutgers School of Nursing–Camden Accelerated Bachelor of Science (ABS) in Nursing program offers a fast-track into the nursing profession for people who hold a bachelor’s or higher degree in a non-nursing major. Our intensive program allows students to complete their degree within 15 months, and students receive the same quality of clinical practice as their counterparts in our traditional Bachelor of Science in Nursing program.
