Nursing Admission Detail at Concordia College
The Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing program is a 15-month, 61-credit post-baccalaureate course of study for college graduates with a degree in a major other than nursing. Graduates will be eligible to take the NCLEX-RN exam leading to licensure in New York State as a Registered Professional Nurse. Passing the test will allow graduates to enter the nursing work force.
