Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Accelerated)

The Rankin School of Nursing offers an innovative and responsive program that educates competent, safe, caring, evidence-informed, critical thinking baccalaureate-prepared nurses. While most Bachelor of Science programs require four years of full-time study, the Accelerated Option at StFX gives you the opportunity to earn your degree in less time. The Accelerated Option is ideal for students with prior post-secondary credits who want to complete their degree over six continuous semesters. It is an in-person, on-campus program that offers the very same exemplary nursing training as our regular BScN program—simply at a faster, uninterrupted pace that allows you to enterre-enter the workforce sooner. Nursing graduates apply to the Nova Scotia College of Nurses (NSCN) to write the licensure exam (NCLEX) to become Registered Nurses (RNs) following graduation with the BScN degree.
