Why Choose CSP for Your Second Career in Nursing?

Описание: Why choose CSP? For second-career nursing student Callie Fowler, Concordia University, St. Paul’s Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program in Portland, Oregon, was the right choice. After working in the nonprofit sector and coming from a family of healthcare professionals, Callie felt a strong calling to make a meaningful impact.

“After the pandemic, I really wanted to do something that mattered,” Callie says. “I wanted to go to work and do something that really felt like I was going to make a difference in the lives of other people.”

Concordia University’s ABSN program offered the perfect pathway because it enabled her to leverage her previous education to earn her nursing degree in as few as 16 months, less time than a traditional four-year program.

“I was also looking for something that was going to be fast-paced and help me get to that next stage of my career,” Callie says.

She also appreciated the seamless support from the admissions team, making her transition into nursing school low-stress and efficient.

Callie lived an hour away from Portland, so being able to complete her prerequisites and didactic coursework online was convenient.

She emphasizes the value of Concordia University, St. Paul’s faculty and learning opportunities, including lab and clinical instruction from committed professionals. She also found an incredible sense of community within her cohort, peers who became lifelong friends and an integral part of her nursing journey.

Callie adds, “You really do make connections that are really worthwhile and are going to last through the program and through your nursing career.”
