History FastBacc® at Baylor University Louise Herrington School of Nursing was started in the summer of 2009 and the first cohort graduated in May 2010. The inspiration for the program came from Professor Nan Ketcham who saw a need for an accelerated, second degree option for students desiring a career change or college graduates interested in nursing but unwilling to enroll in a traditional two-or three-year program.
