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.

This degree usually takes two years to earn. * RN-Bachelors Degree:Registered Nurse, with a four year degree.
