The associates degree is designed as a two year program of study as a full-time student provided the student takes the degree as prescribed by the college. There are some programs of study that may take a bit longer depending on the number of credits required. Usually these are programs within the health related fields. In addition, for students who require developmental course work as a result of basic skills testing, it would take longer. How much longer would depend on the extent of the developmental courses they are required to take. Evidently, those individuals who attend college on a part-time based would also extend their time in school. How much longer would depend on the credit load carried each semester. Typically, an associates degree takes between 60 and 64 credits to complete depending on the specific school, program of study, and state mandates.
Note, that because of the prerequisite coursework required for this field, the length of time to complete the nursing program may take some what longer.

How long will it take to get a BS in nursing when you have an Associate in Radiology?
If you have completed the coursework outside the professional phase nursing courses, it will still take two years to complete because of the sequential nature of the program. If you find a diploma program that is shorter, I would not recommend it if you don not already have an existing bachelor's degree. In time, you may decide to go on for the bachelor's in nursing (BSN). Still, if this is your passion, then I would recommend you go for the nursing degree. Today, there are so many opportunities for nurses which are very much in demand.
