Due to the national nursing shortage crisis, many universities are now offering accelerated nursing degree programs. In these, a person with a degree in another field can earn a Bachelor's or Master's degree in nursing, in a short period of time (in some cases slightly less than a year's time). Anyway, as of 2003, here are the United States colleges and universities which are offering accelerated nursing degree programs. They are listed state-by-state:
