The University of Oklahoma College of Nursing Program's Accelerated Nursing Program takes 14 months to complete for second degree seekers. For this type of speedy nurse training, we have two components of the program: online education for nurses, and the clinical aspect of the nurse education. These are completed concurrently so you can get your bachelor of science nursing degree as fast as possible!

In terms of time spent for the San Diego BSN program, you will spend approximately 600 hours with the online theory portion and about 870 hours of the clinical aspect. We understand that you want to get a jump start on your nurse career--and so as you can see, that's a lot of time within 14 months spent in our online nursing school. So, we get the question "Can I still work while in your nursing program?" quite a bit.

There is no definite answer to this, however, as this very much depends on the individual. With the time listed above, you can count on at least 2-3 days a week, averaging approximately 12-16 hours a week in the clinical portion, and we give you at least one semester in advance notice of when and where you'll be doing your live nurse training. As the clinicals are done in live Sharp Healthcare environments with other nurses in San Diego, it's important to remember that these clinicals can be scheduled during the day or night, any day of the week. Along with the reading and online theory work you will complete towards your online nursing bachelors degree, this is a very intensive, aggressive program, so it is important that while you may be able to continue to work, this nursing program does demand more of a full-time commitment.

Our RN to BSN San Diego program is a bit different than the 14 month ABSN, so if you are currently an RN looking to get your BSN and would like to know how this is different, please give us a call at 1-888-696-8276 or visit us online at http://ounursing.com for more information on obtaining your RN Bachelors degree.
