Can’t wait to become a nurse? Enrolling students three times a year, the Xavier accelerated nursing program in Cleveland can get you started on your education as soon as possible—just as long as you have a non-nursing college education.

Our 16-month ABSN program features a rigorous blend of online courses, hands-on nursing labs, and clinical rotations in health care facilities in and around Cleveland. Basically, you learn the fundamentals of nursing online, apply that core knowledge during labs, and then experience how everything ties together when caring for actual patients.

While in the ABSN program, you’ll attend nursing skills and simulation labs at our ABSN Learning Center on a weekly basis. It’s also where you’ll go to take proctored exams. Located in Independence, Ohio, this state-of-the-art satellite facility sits approximately 12 miles south of Cleveland. Inside you’ll find:

• A nursing skills lab that replicates the modern clinical setting so you can develop your core nursing skills using real hospital equipment. Under the guidance of an experienced instructor, you’ll learn how to safely and effectively apply skills such as nasogastric tube insertion and wound care.

• Nursing simulation labs that provide a highly realistic platform for you and your peers to intervene in diverse patient care scenarios, from childbirth to cardiac arrest. Depending on the learning objective, either a simulation manikin or a human actor will carry out the patient role.

• A control room where instructors can make on-the-fly adjustments to a nursing simulation-based on how you and your peers respond during the experience. Following a simulation, you and your peers will meet with faculty in a debriefing room to reflect on the experience and gain valuable feedback.

Also within the ABSN Learning Center are offices, classrooms, and a student lounge. To learn more about the Xavier accelerated nursing program in Cleveland, please visit acceleratednursing.xavier.edu/cleveland.
