Hello Tania,
Typically you can complete RN (Registered Nurse) training in about 3 years. One year of that is accomplishing Pre-Nursing course (prerequisites if required) in a Community College, then two years in a Nursing Program. There is also another track wherein you get a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing (BSN), that will be 4 years at a university.

An associate's degree or professional nursing diploma is already the quickest way to become a registered nurse, but you may be able to get your degree even quicker. Typically, these programs take a minimum of two to three years of study, according to the BLS.
