A Great Future in Nursing Awaits
Set your education in motion at Northeastern University.
"Before nursing school, I was raising my kids and volunteering for hospice. I joined the ABSN program, with the goal of becoming a hospice nurse for the elderly. Most people my age think it’s too late to go back to school—but it’s not. Nursing school went by so fast. I now get to spend the next 20-plus years helping others."
— Megan B., ABSN Program Graduate
