The majority of degrees are 4-year degrees.

You can get a 2-year degree and be a nurse, but a lot of people get 4-year degrees (because....?) anyhow. UT has a really good nursing program. If you can't get into it (it's pretty competitive), there's UTA in Arlington that has a really good program and is cheaper (~$2000-2500/semester).

What is it they say about silence being golden?
