Licensure and certification. In all States, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories, students must graduate from an approved nursing program and pass a national licensing examination, known as the NCLEX-RN, in order to obtain a nursing license. Nurses may be licensed in more than one State, either by examination or by the endorsement of a license issued by another State. The Nurse Licensure Compact Agreement allows a nurse who is licensed and permanently resides in one of the member States to practice in the other member States without obtaining additional licensure. In 2006, 20 states were members of the Compact, while 2 more were pending membership. All States require periodic renewal of licenses, which may require continuing education.

Whats the difference between an RN degree and a nursing degree?

You do not get a RN (Registered Nurse) degree. To become a RN you earn an associate degree in nursing then take the state nursing exam. If you pass you are then a RN. You can also get a 4 year degree in nursing, which will make you even more marketable. Then, you would be an RN with a BSN. You still have to take the state nursing exam.

Is a BS degree higher that an RN degree?

It is important to clarify that there is no such thing as an RN "degree". The title RN (registered nurse) is actually obtained by state licensure. You become an RN after sitting for, and passing, your state's NCLEX exam. However, to be eligible to take the NCLEX exam, you have to have graduated from an accredited school of nursing. These schools of nursing offer different degrees. Depending on the school, it is possible to receive an Associate Degree in Nursing (such as can be obtained at a community college) as well as a Bachelor's, Master's or PhD in nursing (obtained at the university level). All of these degrees qualify their holders to sit for the NCLEX and receive an RN license. The only difference would be the letters that follow the nurse's name. Here are two examples... A nurse who graduated from an Associate degree program would be Ben B. Smart, ASN, RN Whereas a nurse who graduated from a Bachelor's degree program would be Susy Got Bank, BSN, RN


If you go to college to get a BSN can you work as an RN in the second year during the process?

No you cannot. To work as an RN, you must complete the program of study, received your RN degree, and passed the national licensing examination known as the NCLEX-RN.
