PHOENIX, ARIZONA, UNITED STATES, November 18, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Arizona College of Nursing announced today the opening of a new campus in Falls Church VA. This will be the 12th campus location for the college and the first campus in Virginia. The Falls Church campus will be located at 3130 Fairview Park Drive, Suite 800, conveniently located off the I-495 Capital Beltway.

According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Washington Metropolitan area has the lowest concentration of nurse employment vs. national nurse employment among all major US. cities. One of the causes of the nursing shortage is not enough nursing students are graduating to handle the need for medical care.

The new campus aims to address the demand for qualified Registered Nurses (RN). Arizona College of Nursing offers an accelerated program that provides students the opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Nursing Degree in three years, or less, with qualified transfer credit. The college is currently accepting enrollments for its first cohort beginning Jan. 3, 2021.

“We are excited to be opening the Falls Church campus to meet the need for skilled nurses in the area,” said Nick Mansour, President, Arizona College of Nursing. “Our nursing program employs a mixture of classroom learning and hands-on training in our state-of-the-art simulation labs and through clinical rotations. Nursing is all we will teach at this location so students can be confident that our accredited, career-focused, BSN program will prepare them for a fulfilling nursing career.”

Students at the campus will have the opportunity to receive individual attention and form relationships with faculty and staff. The Falls Church campus will also offer support services include tutoring, open lab time, counseling services, career services and opportunities to join student nursing associations.
