New Jersey ABSN Sites
New Jersey has a long history of innovation in medicine and healthcare, making the state a natural fit for any student looking to earn their Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). Known as “The Medicine Chest of the World,” New Jersey is home to many of the nation’s top pharmaceutical research companies and, as a result, hosts countless clinical research trials.
Felician University has two ABSN sites in New Jersey where students can begin their nursing careers. Our 16-month Hybrid ABSN is located at our satellite learning site in Parsippany, NJ, and our 18-month On-Ground ABSN is located at our main campus in Rutherford, NJ.
Whichever accredited ABSN program you choose, you’ll graduate with the knowledge and skills you need to become a leader in the field of nursing, as well as to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) — the final step in achieving registered nurse licensure.
Two New Jersey ABSN Locations
Of course, no nursing program can be completed 100% online. Both our Hybrid ABSN and On-Ground ABSN programs feature high-tech skills and simulation labs where you’ll receive hands-on training designed to prepare you for your clinical rotations and professional practice.
Hybrid ABSN Program Learning Site in Parsippany
Students of our online-based Hybrid ABSN program should expect to travel to our learning site in Parsippany, New Jersey, several times a week. There you’ll participate in skills and simulation labs designed to provide realistic nursing experience in a safe, risk-free environment, as well as attend exams, and review sessions. As a Felician University ABSN student, you can also use our site to study and meet up with your cohort or instructors.

On-Ground ABSN Program at Felician University
Students of our On-Ground Accelerated BSN program will attend multiple weekly lectures and labs at our Barbara J. Toscano Nursing Resource and Simulation Center on Felician University’s main campus in Rutherford, New Jersey.
Ranked in the top nine on Niche’s 2023 Safest College Campuses in New Jersey list based on data from the U.S. Department of Education, Felician University provides a safe and welcoming learning environment where students can get the support they need. That’s in large part thanks to dedicated faculty and staff and low student-to-instructor ratios.
