when taking nursing classes how many years of college do it take

Nursing career

1) If you know you want to pursue nursing now, you can apply to colleges that have a nursing program and offer a bachelors in nursing. That way, you'll be taking your general education classes along with your nursing classes and have a bachelors of science in nursing (BSN) when you graduate college.

2) OR, if you don't know for sure, or if you go to a college that doesn't offer a BSN, you can always get a bachelors in something else (preferably in the physical sciences) and, after graduating, you can go to a nursing school that has programs for people with bachelors degrees to get BSNs. This might take anywhere from 2-3 years, depending on how many classes you take per semester and how many pre-requisites you've already completed. You will be better prepared if you already had plenty of biology, anatomy, psych, etc. Look up the pre-requisites for these programs when you're still in undergrad so you can do as much as possible and it will take less time.
