ABSN Program Admissions Overview
Enrolling in Misericordia University’s Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program can get you on the fast track to a new career in nursing — but first, you must meet the ABSN admissions requirements. Once you fulfill the requirements, you can apply for a start date in January, May, or August.
