Questions about Continuing Education Options
The Abington Memorial Hospital Dixon School of Nursing believes that education is a lifelong commitment. Students are encouraged to pursue continuing education options to include, but not limited to, RN to BSN or RN to BSN/MSN completion programs and to perhaps consider doctoral education in their professional journey. There are multiple programs both online and on campus through accredited Colleges and Universities to select from.
Abington Memorial Hospital offers its employees the convenience of taking courses on-site (at the Abington Memorial Hospital Dixon School of Nursing) as offered through LaSalle University and Immaculata University. To expand options for all graduates of the Abington Memorial Hospital Dixon School of Nursing program an articulation agreement has been created between Jefferson School of Nursing (Thomas Jefferson University) and Abington Memorial Hospital Dixon School of Nursing.
