You need to work about 2-3 years to get a Registered Nurse certification. One need to complete at least 2 years of associate degree in nursing. This will make him/her eligible to take the NCLEX exam which will finally certify that the person is a registered nurse.
Becoming a registered nurse requires medical terminology. You must complete a passing course of medical terms and also you must complete the basic skills and certification training that's required with becoming a registered nurse.
An associate's degree in nursing can be earned in two years of full time classes. Two years after high school a graduate can be a registered nurse.
It took my husband two years to get his Associates of Nursing
Becoming an OGBYN nurse begins with obtaining a nursing degree which can take 2 to 4 years depending on the program. After that, the number of years can differ as the remaining steps include passing the NCLEX-RN exam and earning a registered nurses license, gaining some work experience, and earning a certification from the NCC.
The average length of these training programs usually take two years. It might take a little longer.
Four years, at least. It's just like apprenticing or articling.
Answer Registered Nurses have tons of paper work to do. My suggestion to you would be to go to a seminar for a Nursing School and see just exactly what is required from a Registered Nurse and take it from there.
If you are referring to a nurse practitioner, it takes four years of undergraduate coursework (bachelor's degree), and two to three years for the master's degree).
"Becoming a Nurse Practitioner requires one to first earn thier Registered Nurse credentials. Depending on the educational background you have, this program could take 6 - 8 years."
Yes, by all means. But my question to you is --- WHY? If you are already an RN in the Philippines, I would presume you graduated from BSN. Here in the US, the requirements to get the CNA certification exam is a High School diploma and a 20-day training! As a Nurse, you can always take the qualifying exams given by the US to qualify you to work here as a Registered Nurse. CNA's are basically the same as caregivers. The only difference is the certification which enables CNA's to work for hospitals - which caregivers cannot do.

RN schools are used to become a Registered Nurse. It generally takes between 2 and 4 years to gain your certification and once you graduate you will need to take your licensing exam to practice medicine.
