Fast Track Nursing Programs?


I was wondering if anyone can tell me more about the fast track nursing programs?

How does that work and just how fast is it?

Thanks

last i've heard the most(maximum) is more or less 3 years. some offers 2 years and 2 programs i heard had 1 year and 9 months(that includes no vacation, 6 days per week).

i doubt someone can learn that much in so short a time. i finished the 4-year bsn and still haven't integrated much of what i've learned in my life.

A fast-track program is one that takes less than the normal time to complete, they can be about 14 months in the US if you already have a Bachelor's degree.

Please be aware that the programs that are under a full two years of study usually do not meet the requirements for immigration to the US. And the several that we have seen in the past are no longer being accepted in the US because documents were falsified by the school, green cards have been pulled.

Please be aware that most countries are quite specific in their requirements for immigration and these are stronger than the licensing requirements.
