Thank you comment icon It takes two years to obtain your Associate Degree in Nursing. After completing the four semesters of the ADN program, you then can sit for the NCLEX Exam. The NCLEX Exam must be passed for you to be classified a Registered Nurse. Megan

Hi Hanna,

If you decide to study to become a Registered Nurse (RN) you need to first apply to an accredited nursing school that usually takes 4 years that graduates students with a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree that is required for RN’s to obtain. If you see a nursing school accredited by the Commission on the Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) then this school is accredited at the baccalaureate level for the BSN degree showing this is the right school to attend. Once you complete nursing school and graduate with your BSN you need to complete and pass the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) exam to obtain your license to practice or work as an RN. Once you pass your NCLEX exam you are ready to work as an RN at any part of the Healthcare system in the United States. Hope this helps.

-Thank you,
Aaron
