Best Answer

Most "acreditted" diploma programs are 2 years. Make sure the program your interested in is accredited by your state. You are able to further your education and apply to a "bridge" program for a BSN or directly to an MSN in some states. The length of time depends on the requirements of the accepting program/university. Good luck, study hard and be prepared to devote the next 2 years to some serious and intense training.
