I second U-Dub's great nursing program. Not on the East Coast, but worth looking into.

And if she wants a career change, she can easily transition into law. Lots of lawyers (on both the plaintiff and defense side) of the medical bar have medical backgrounds. We always have a couple of nurse-legal assistants at the firm.
Another great career path for someone with a degree in nursing is to become a CRA - Clinical Research Associate, supervising clinical trials of new drugs and medical devices. Many research institutes, biotechs and pharma companies employ CRAs. Nursing background is generally preferred for that type of work.

A degree in nursing opens very wide career choices!
