Concordia University in St. Paul, Minn., will offer an accelerated 16-month nursing program to help fill nursing shortages in the state, according to St. Paul, Minn., ABC affiliate KSTP 5 on Oct. 5.
Participants will be able to utilize the facilities in St. Paul, Minn., and Portland, Ore., according to the program's website.
"It is a calling," nursing program chair Kendra Saal told KSTP 5. "It's not just for anybody to just go into. You have to have that passion and that care and drive to do it and to be successful at it."
