How many years do you have to go to college to become a nurse?



How many years do you have to go to college to become a nurse?

It depends on where you live. There are a few diploma programs left in the country which is a 2 year (all year round) RN program.

If you already have a bachelor's degree, there are some "bridge" programs where you can get an RN in 18 months.

If you are starting from scratch, a diploma program or associate degree program would be the shortest for RN. If your community doesn't have these, then a bachelor's program is your best bet for RN.

As a side note, there is a huge shortage for RN's. If you need financial assistance, there are many scholarships available. Check with the American Nursing Association, Johnson and Johnson, or do a search for RN financial aide.

Good luck, nursing has been VERY good to me (I have a Master's Degree in Nursing)

Depends, LPN or RN anywhere from 2 to 4 yrs
around 4 years or so
do you want to be an LPN or RN?? RN's have to go longer, but the opportunities and pay are better. LPN's can get it done in 1 year (full time) and RN's need to go for at least a 2 year program.
i am an RN
