How long does it take to become a Nurse??

Hi there,
There are different levels of nursing. You can become a Certified Nursing Assistant, which requires a short 6 month program and then you pass a state test. Second you can become a Licensed Practical Nurse, which is usually 1 year program and then you take a board test which is NCLEX. Third you can obtain an associates degree in nursing and this is usually between 2 to 3 years and you will obtain a Registered Nurse license after taking the NCLEX which allows you to work in a nursing professional role.
