Nursing Accelerated Program

If you're thinking about changing careers and getting into nursing, but you already have a degree, the Capital Nursing Accelerated Program (C-NAP) may be just what you're looking for.

C-NAP is a pre-licensure bachelor of science in nursing degree program designed for people who have completed a baccalaureate or higher degree in a non-nursing field.

The program packs a complete bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) degree into just 20 months of full-time study. It even includes a third of the classes you would need to complete a master of science in nursing. When you graduate, you will be eligible to apply to any state Board of Nursing to be licensed and to take the NCLEX-RN licensure exam.

The nursing accelerated program is built on the same nursing science foundation as Capital's excellent bachelor and master degree programs and is supported by the same mission, philosophy and conceptual framework that has made Capital's nursing program what it is today.
