It takes 4 years to earn a degree in Nursing!
An aspiring RN can earn a bachelor's of science in nursing (BSN) in four years at a college or university. If you're already an RN, you can enroll in an RN-to-BSN program which is geared specifically for RNs who have an associate's degree or nursing diploma. This path usually takes about two to three years.

Hi Kimberly!
This is an excellent question. Generally, I would allow for about four years to obtain a nursing degree (BSN), however I have worked with nurses that have obtained their degree in two years (ADN), although it can be difficult. It can be dependent upon the prerequisites taken at other colleges or during an early college program that some high schools may offer. The ADN is attractive because it allows nurses to obtain licensure quicker and enter into the workforce faster. However, some hospitals or nursing roles may require a BSN degree.
Hope this helps! Happy Nursing (:
