Two institutions of higher learning in Maryland have partnered in hopes of addressing the state’s nursing shortage. Notre Dame of Maryland University signed an agreement Tuesday to make it easier for students at Mount St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg to enroll in the former’s fast-track nursing program. Any student who earned a bachelor’s degree in health sciences at Mount St. Mary’s can now earn their second bachelor of science in nursing degree at Notre Dame of Maryland in fewer than 15 months.
