No, you do not have to be a registered nurse to take blood pressures. Many trained healthcare professionals, including medical assistants, nursing students, and even some fitness trainers, can measure blood pressure. However, proper training and understanding of the technique and equipment are essential to ensure accurate readings. Always follow local regulations and guidelines regarding who is authorized to perform such tasks.
You need to work about 2-3 years to get a Registered Nurse certification. One need to complete at least 2 years of associate degree in nursing. This will make him/her eligible to take the NCLEX exam which will finally certify that the person is a registered nurse.

An RN is a registered nurse. They take care of you while your in the hospital
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.
An associate's degree in nursing can be earned in two years of full time classes. Two years after high school a graduate can be a registered nurse.
In the United Kingdom it would take 3 years.
To become a registered nurse you will need to attend some college and/or university. Many community colleges offer great nursing programs and can be completed in as little as two years.
He or his nurse can draw blood for a test. If you want to donate blood, he doesn't do that.
Well, no license means you cannot practice as a nurse. You have to inquire about the procedure to take your boards. It would be ashamed after going through all that training for nothing.
