Accelerated BSN Program - Lynnwood

Pacific Lutheran University/School of Nursing ETPL
Our full-time Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program in Seattle, Washington, is designed to prepare students for nursing in as few as 16 months. Our accelerated nursing program combines online coursework, hands-on nursing labs and in-person clinical rotations. Under the direct supervision of its faculty members, the School of Nursing uses the facilities of large hospitals, health agencies and long-term care facilities in the community to provide optimal clinical learning experiences for students. Graduates are awarded the bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) degree and are eligible to sit for the NCLEX-RN examination for licensure as registered nurses in Washington state. They are prepared for first-level staff nursing positions in hospitals, clinics, the military, long-term care facilities and community health agencies, with potential for rapid advancement and assumption of leadership roles. They also have the basis to pursue graduate study in nursing.
