In 1904, Mount Sinai Phillips School of Nursing (PSON), a private, not-for-profit institution, was founded with a distinct focus on exceptional nursing education at the associate's and baccalaureate levels. The clinical rotations are held at top-ranked centers throughout New York City. The two nursing programs offered are in hybrid formats: Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) and RN to BSN programs.
The Mount Sinai Health System is New York City's largest integrated delivery system encompassing seven hospital campuses, a leading medical school, and a vast network of ambulatory practices throughout the greater New York region.
Accelerated BSN Program (ABSN)
If you hold a baccalaureate degree in another field, the Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) degree is designed for you. Students can become a nurse in 15-months. This program is a hybrid program as well. Afterwards, the graduate is eligible to take the NCLEX-RN licensure examination and is well-prepared to pursue masters-level education in nursing.
Students in the ABSN program must complete a minimum of 48 nursing credits and finish the program within a maximum of six semesters, calculated at 150% of the standard completion time.
