Nurses have long been the backbone of medical practice around the world. Combining close interactions with patients with a wide skill set in performing many aspects of medical care, nurses bridge the gap between patients and doctors. As a nurse, you will be on the front line of a hospital, clinic, or private practice’s patient interactions, providing a consistent level of care and ensuring that patient needs and concerns are being addressed.

With an associate degree in nursing from ABAC, you will be prepared to graduate as a Registered Nurse and get started on the rewarding path of a career in healthcare.
