So, if time is the only thing standing in the way of pursuing a future in healthcare, an accelerated BSN program can be a better fit than traditional 4-year programs. Between families and full-time jobs, a hybrid aBSN program helps you to work around a busy schedule so that you have time for the other commitments in your life.
