California State University San Marcos is expanding its popular two-year nursing program to meet the demand for trained medical personnel in the greater San Diego region.
The university’s Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing is now accepting applications for 2014 for both the San Marcos and Temecula campuses, with programs starting in the summer, fall and spring terms.
The fast-paced, 24-month “additional bachelor’s degree” is designed for students who hold a degree in a discipline outside of nursing and who have not completed any coursework toward becoming a registered nurse or licensed vocational nurse.
Upon completion of the program, students will be awarded the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Completion of the degree enables graduates to sit for the NCLEX examinations required to become a licensed nurse.
A free information session is scheduled for April 2 from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Foundation Classroom Building 5-105.
