What is a Fast‑Track Nursing Program?

A fast‑track nursing program is also known as an accelerated nursing program, or direct entry nursing program.

A fast‑track nursing program is designed for students who want to become a licensed registered nurse, but already have their bachelor’s degree in another field. Fast‑track nursing programs can be offered at both bachelor’s and master’s degree levels.

How fast is a fast‑track nursing program?

If a student is enrolled part‑time in a fast‑track nursing program, it may generally take the student up to 22 months to earn their degree.

Fast‑track nursing programs can be offered on‑campus, online, or in hybrid and evening and weekend options.

How do I know if a fast‑track Nursing program is the right fit for me?
