Kingwisdom,
Congratulations on your RN. I was a diploma Registered Nurse (RN) prior to getting my baccalaureate in nursing (bachelor's of science in nursing (BSN) here in the United States). I attended a RN continuation program at the University of Evansville, Indiana. Many universities have continuation programs. There are courses you can take at inexpensive "junior" colleges here in the US to save money, then attend the university to complete the degree. You may even be able to "test out" of some coursework. Once you find a program, you may want to talk to a faculty member in the College of Nursing to see how many courses and months it will take you to complete.
I encourage you to complete your bachelors soon as gets harder to complete once you are making a great income. Good luck.
Maureen

I believe you're referring to a Registered Nurse (RN) license, not a certificate. If that's the case, you have several exciting options to fast-track your bachelor's degree. You can choose to enroll in a program that accelerates your learning, although it typically requires X credit hours for degree qualification. There are also various bridge programs designed specifically for RNs like you, offering accelerated coursework that you can undertake on campus, online, virtually, or through a mix of these methods. However, keep in mind that you'll need to fulfill the required clinical hours. If your course work was outside the US and you challenged the US RN Boards it might be a bit more challenging, as it necessitates completing all their RN program courses and accumulating sufficient credit hours to graduate. But don't worry, they will assess your background and determine what they can accept. Remember, every step you take brings you closer to your goal. Keep going!

L.’s Answer

I have never heard of a RN certificate. Can you elaborate more? Do you have an associate degree in nursing? If so then it would take a yr to obtain your BSN.
