Aaron’s Answer

Hi Carlee,

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. 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 such as a NICU nurse which is Neonatal Intensive Care Unit that cares for babies or as an Emergency room nurse caring for patients who are brought by ambulance. Hope this helps.

-Thank you,
Aaron
