Accelerated Path to Solving Arizona's Nursing Crisis

Arizona’s nursing crisis is hitting record levels—with 28,100 projected vacancies by 2025, the worst in the nation. Faced with overwhelmed staff and urgent patient needs, schools like Pima Medical Institute are racing to fill the gap with accelerated 20-month programs that train hands-on nurses faster, at a cost of $60K—seen as a smart investment compared to a traditional degree. Students witness firsthand the strain on current nurses, fueling their calling to care. With a 91% pass rate on the national licensing exam, these programs are turning passion into practice—and enrollment for fall is closing in August.
