Sachin’s Answer

Thanks for the question. 

Becoming a registered nurse begins with the right education. Currently, you need at least a 2-year Associate’s Degree in Nursing (ADN), though medical facilities are increasingly requiring a bachelor’s degree. In fact, the Institute of Medicine recommends that 80% of the nursing workforce hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) by 2020.

Hope this helps!

Katy’s Answer

To be a Registered Nurse you need to either get a 2 year Associates Degree of Nursing (ADN) through a community college or attend a university and receive your Bachelors of Science in Nursing (BSN). Many students obtain their ADN and then while working as RN attend a university to complete their BSN as some hospitals are now making that degree a requirement for employment.
