How long do you have to go to college to be a registered nurse?

Answer 1

15 years At a minimum, to become a registered nurse, the time is 2 years. If you want to obtain your Bachelor's degree in nursing that would be about 4 years. You can start with the 2 year (associate) degree and then advance to your Bachelors. Nursing is a great career, but you have to love it to stay with it.

Answer 2

For an associates degree in nursing from a college or university within the United States, it would take approximately 75 credits. The associates degree in general runs between 60 and 64 credits depending on the state mandate, however, because of the number of clinical hours involved, the nursing program requires a bit more. The Bachelor's degree in nursing (BSN) can take between 120 to 128 credits depending on the institution. 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) For the source and more detailed information concerning your request, click on the related links section (U.S. Department of Labor) indicated at the bottom of this answer box.

There are no standard tuition and fee rates for colleges and universities. Each institution will have rates particular to itself. There are a number of variables to consider to include whether the institution is public or private, the geographical location, the specific program of study (some of which have greater course and/or clinical fees), and whether the school is a two year or four year institution. Once you collect the names of some colleges and universities you have an interest in, you can then research the cost specific to those institutions.
