I'm assuming you mean for people who already have a bachelor's degree.
Seton Hall University is the only school I've seen listed. Here's some info from their website.

Accelerated B.S.N.
In partnership with Georgian Court University, Seton Hall also offers a 14-month, 64-credit Accelerated Bachelor's Degree in Nursing. Based at the Georgian Court campus in Lakewood, New Jersey this program is designed to help students with a non-nursing bachelor's degree enter the nursing profession.
Before beginning this program students must have completed the following prerequisite courses in Anatomy & Physiology I, Anatomy & Physiology II, Bio/Organic Chemistry, Microbiology, Statistics, Developmental Psychology and Ethics.
All prerequisites must be completed with a grade of 'C' or higher. A minimum GPA of 3.0 is also required.

Check out Fairleigh Dickinson in Teaneck and Jersey City University in Wall. Kean might have one, not sure.
As a recent grad from an accelerated program finding almost no openings for new grads, I'd actually suggest you look into the less expensive community college route - maybe the recession/depression will be done by the time you graduate. Or consider one of the hospital diploma programs - they place their own grads first.

I am currently an undergrad student majoring in bio, and I applied to SHU accel-BSN program. I took pretty much all the prereqs except dev. psych and ethics, but got a C+ in a&pII b/c my professor was ridiculous, and I was juggling a lot of hard classes that semester. Should I take it again just to see if I can get a better grade? All my other prereq classes I got A's and B's, even organic chem and I suck at chemistry. My application is already in so I'm just waiting. I'm kind of nervous. Anybody from past years can give me advice on this? Thanks =]
What is SHU?
Seton Hall University
I don't know if a C represents your understanding of A&P, or just your grade. You want a really firm foundation in that for Patho, which is a weed-'em-out and thin-the-ranks class. A&P is your framework to fit your other knowledge into, and will allow you to reason your way through problems.
If you feel shaky in A&P, retaking it this summer at a comm. coll. would be a investment protecting your tuition dollars later.
