Ifeoma’s Answer

Unfortunately having MA or CNA cert does does not decrease the amount of time to get your RN. ADN will take 2 years and BSN will take four

Martin’s Answer

RN programs typically need a set number of practical and theoretical hours. This usually means at least 2 years in an associate's program or 4 years in a bachelor's program. There's no real way to speed this up, as these are the minimum standards set by the National Boards.

Hailey’s Answer

It will depend a when you want an associate degree or a bachelors. You can also go on to complete a masters degree. An ADN program is typically 2 years and a BSN is typically 4 years. Another option is an LPN where the program takes a year and an additional 6 months to a year for the prerequisites.

Godfrey’s Answer

It basically depends on where one starts their career to become an RN.
People use different paths
Some start as CNA,then CMA then LPN,RN and BSN.
CNA can take like 1 month to complete
CMA can take 6-12 months
LPN can take upto 2yrs
RN can take 2 to 4 years
BSN can take 4 if it's direct entry while associate RN can upgrade in like about 2 year.
We also have accelerated BSN program that takes 1 year however it a little bit expensive you can spend about $54000 to complete the program in 1 year.
So it all depends on the path one decides to purse .
