How long to get a CNA?

Answer 1

If you attend public college, 2 years ... However, there are some accredited nursing schools who accelerate 2 years into about 9 months. Depends on how fast your learning curve is (and job need) which avenue is best to take, but remember that the private schools will cost lots more ... getting that education faster does accelerate your costs.

RN's can also have 4 & 5 year degrees. Some RN's even have PhD's.

Answer 2

It depends on your approach. There are three options to become a registered nurse as follows.

• diploma program (typically three years, not recommended for individuals who do not have an already existing degree)
• associate degree (two years as a full-time student once the student starts the professional phase of the program)
• bachelor's degree (BSN) (four years as a full-time student)

If you are wanting to be a nurses assistant (CNA) it only takes about 8 weeks.

If you want to be a Nurse it takes much longer, LPN's 1yr-18 months, RN 2yrs, BNS 4yrs.

Most colleges and universities have a nursing program, some community colleges do too. Most colleges require that you have pre-nursing classes in order to be accepted into the different kinds of nursing classes (except CNA). If you do not get these classes completed then you cannot be accepted into the nursing classes, so it could take longer to get your license or degree.
