Hey everyone! Has anyone heard of Grand Canyon University's accelerated BSN program? It just launched this year, and was wondering if anyone is applying to it? ABSN - two locations: Sun City and Tuscon.

Is anyone from California attending the ABSN program in Grand Canyon U. ? Is the program really 16 months? for exams do we need to be on campus or it's online?

Hi there! Recent GCU ABSN graduate-
The program is 16 months split into 4 semesters. Each semester is 15 weeks. You get about 1-2 week breaks in between each semester. The program is hybrid. You go to campus for exams, clinical labs, exam reviews (optional), practice labs (optional), and simulation labs. Clinical rotations are completed at assigned hospitals/clinical sites. Didactic (in class) is virtual via Zoom. These are optional, but recommended. It is fast-paced, but absolutely doable!
@sassyscrubbs21 thank you!

Hello everyone!
I recently appleid to the GCU ABSN program at the Nevada location and would like to get feedbacks on how the program is structured. Also, would you recommend this school?
also, for recent graduates of this program, did the program help prepare you to pass the NCLEX?
