Doc’s Answer
Secil it can take between 2-4 years to become a registered nurse (RN), depending on the degree program you choose, your clinical experience, and your state's licensing requirements.
• ASSOCIATE DEGREE IN NURSING (ADN)
An associate degree in nursing program usually takes 2 years to complete and is offered by community colleges and some universities. This degree provides a solid foundation in nursing and includes both classroom instruction and clinical practice. ADN-educated nurses can become registered nurses and enter the workforce without earning a bachelor's degree. However, many registered nurses with associate degrees choose to further their education through RN-to-BSN programs, which help ADN-educated nurses increase their employability by earning a bachelor's degree.
• BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN NURSING (BSN)
A bachelor of science in nursing degree program usually requires 4 years of study at a college or university. The curriculum for this program includes a comprehensive mix of theoretical and practical training, allowing students to gain a deeper understanding of medical concepts, research, and public health. The bachelor's degree coursework includes a combination of general education classes, prerequisite courses, and major nursing courses. BSN-educated nurses are increasingly in demand due to their broader skill set and are more likely to pursue specialized roles, management positions, or graduate studies in nursing.
NUMBER OF YEARS TO BECOME A DOCTOR
It typically takes 11–17 years to become a doctor, depending on the specialty and whether you pursue additional training:
• Undergraduate degree: 4 years
• Medical school: 4 years
• Residency: 3–9 years, depending on specialty.
• Fellowship training: 1–3 years
Some programs may help you accelerate your timeline, such as BS/MD programs, which can allow you to graduate in three years instead of four. Some programs may also combine your undergraduate and medical school degrees into one, typically taking six years to complete. However, these programs are often highly sought after and extremely competitive.

Hi, Secil !
You receive your M.D. degree after four years of Medical School and then you have a residency for a set number of years. After that you take your Licensing Exam and you pass it and are now a doctor. It varies from state to state and specialty.
