To become a registered nurse, a minimum of two years of schooling is required. This will earn an associates degree in nursing. Many nurses go on to further their education and earn a BSN, or a bachelor of science in nursing degree, with two more years of schooling.
No, you do not have to start with an associates degree. You can choose to go directly for the bachelor's degree in nursing (BSN). The choice is yours. Many start out with the associates because it is typically less expensive, and shorter in time to complete. However, it depends on your personal circumstances.
Typically the associates degree can run between 60 and 64 credits depending on the state mandates. However, because of the amount of clinical hours involved, the associates in nursing can run approximately 75 credits.
Yes you can. There are many individuals who have more than one academic degree in related areas.
It depends on what your associates degree is in. For nursing and engineering there are 68 credits needed.
No, you only become an RN by examination (NCLEX-RN) from your state board of nursing. If you have a associates degree in nursing you may be qualified to take the examination, but these regulations vary by state. At least one state requires the Bachelor of Nursing as the entry to practice, and others would like to follow that plan.
Running about 60 hours, an Associates degree can be earned in 2 years as a full time student.
An associates of science is a general degree category from which many specific programs of study (majors) fall. Thus, the types of jobs available would depend on the specific major. For example, an associates of science in nursing, or engineering, or biology, etc..
Yes you can, and many do. The higher the degree the more opportunities that will be available to you. Still, the associates is a great place to start, and a relatively shorter path to an RN. With the right employment as an RN, many organizations will help finance your pursuit of a Bachelors in Nursing (BSN).Yes you can, and many do.
