There are three options to become a registered nurse as follows.

  • diploma program (typically three years, not recommended for individuals who do not have an already existing degree)
  • associate degree (two years as a full-time student once the student starts the professional phase of the program)
  • bachelor's degree (BSN) (four years as a full-time student)

No. Most courses are less than one year. Some are even taught as part of a vocational program to high school students. It is also the first part of LPN (Liscensed Practical Nurse) training. After the first few monts in LPN school, you can take the CNA test.
