Answer 2

The training to become a nurse varies with the nursing career being pursued. Some nursing careers require extensive training and students must take years of post-secondary courses in order to meet the educational requirements of the position. This is because some nursing fields carry as much responsibility for primary care as physicians. Other nursing positions require less training, and these can be seen as stepping stone positions because some require as little education as a high school diploma. Between earning a high school degree and completing a master's degree, there are different lengths of time required to train to become a nurse.

High School Level

A nursing assistant, also called a nursing aide, can begin work directly upon graduating from high school. Students who are hired into these positions usually have high school curricula that include courses in the biological sciences. Any part-time work in a medical setting will help to make up for the lack of formal nursing training. Some community colleges offer classes that help prepare students become nursing assistants. Although these courses are not required, hospitals and other medical facilities favor applicants who have this additional coursework.

Two-Year Degrees

With an Associate Degree in Nursing, a graduate can take a state licensing examination to become a licensed practical nurse, or LPN. These nursing positions require two years of study beyond high school. These degree programs are typically offered by community colleges.

Four-Year Degrees

Registered nursing positions typically require four years of college-level study. The main requirement for becoming a registered nurse is passing the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses. Most four-year nursing academic programs prepare students to qualify for and pass this test. Some two-year programs and three-year programs can lead to registered nursing positions, although these are usually programs that work with nearby hospitals and can involve additional training at the hospital.

Post-Graduate Positions

A number of nursing careers require more than four years of college-level education. Nurse practitioners, nurse anesthetists and nurse midwives all require a master's degree, which can take one to two years beyond graduation from a four-year college or university. Nurse anesthetists are also required to complete 800 hours of clinical work after the completion of a master's degree.

Continuing Education

In most cases, nurses are required to receive annual training so that they can keep up with current medical practices and new developments in patient treatment. For this reason, the training involved in becoming a nurse and remaining qualified lasts as long as the nursing career itself.

Answer 3

That depends on which course of study you undertake.

Some community colleges offer LPN courses you can taken in about a year. They may also offer 2 year RN courses. Most college nursing degrees are baccalaureate degrees and take 4 years to complete. If you go for your masters degree after that, you are looking at about another 2 years.

How long do you have and how far do you want to go with your education?

Answer 4

It should take about 2 years to finish all of your pre-requisites, then about another 2 years to take the nursing courses. All of that is to get your Bachelor's in Nursing (BSN).
