NORFOLK, Va. â Averett University is helping students find their calling within an in-demand industry with a new Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) degree program in Hampton Roads. The first cohort of students started May 3 at the new Averett School of Nursing ABSN Learning Center in Norfolk, Va.
Averettâs accredited ABSN program creates a new professional path for students with non-nursing bachelorâs degrees â or with at least 60 non-nursing college credits â to help them shift their career and become a nurse sooner. The hybrid format combines online curriculum with hands-on application in an interactive, state-of-the-art learning lab, and can be completed in as few as 16 months. Students also will apply their skills through clinical rotations at Bon Secours, the Universityâs health care partner in Norfolk.
