Through a partnership between Saint Joseph's University and Thomas Jefferson University, students from St. Joseph's University are able to secure a guaranteed admission or a guaranteed interview into the Accelerated BSN Plus (ABSN+) 1-year or 2-year pathway leading to a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree.
Designed for individuals with no prior nursing education, and who are on track to earn a Bachelor’s degree from Saint Joseph’s University, Jefferson’s fully accredited BSN program provides an educational foundation for professional nursing practice.
The program promotes continued intellectual inquiry by emphasizing the relationship between academic and clinical experience. Jefferson Nursing students begin their education by learning clinical skills in a risk-free, simulated-patient environment in one of the nation’s leading centers of its kind.
Combined with their clinical practice at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals and other area clinical partner agencies, our BSN students graduate with significant hours of clinical experience, readying them for real-world practice.
