They have to fulfill the requirements of the Board of Nursing where they live. Many states in the USA require a person to attend a qualified and Board of Nursing accredited school in which they learn the many skills a nurse needs to know. There are shortened programs that often will allow the student nurse to become a LPN/LVN and are usually certificate programs. There are also many programs that allow a student to become a RN through the same process but with more schooling (usually an Associates degree or a Bachelor's degree). Any route you take they (State Board of Nursing) requires the person to take a comprehensive skills final in school and a knowledge test at a qualified testing place which covers much of the learned knowledge over the time the student was in the program.
