There are different levels in the field of nursing. Nursing is a science and depending upon the level of nursing that one would like to pursue, the more sciences and classes one will need to take in order to advance one's degree. There are LPN's Licenced Practical Nurses (an 8 month course), Associate Degrees in Nursing which, when completed, will grant one an RN degree with limitations in management positions. Certain hospitals require a higher level which is an RN, BSN. This is a four to five year degree that is very intensive and allows one to assume higher professional roles. There are also Masters programs, an additional three to four years, which lead to nursing positions suited for upper managerial positions and research or advance practice clinical degrees such as a Nurse Practitioner. A Nurse Practitioner builds on previous nursing experience and then incorporates this knowledge with a medical model, this is a very intensive program and very selective. All positions in nursing are admirable. The work, dedication and caring involved is at times exhausting, but the rewards are far greater than one could ever dream of. If one is considering becoming a nurse, I would recommend that this person go online to visit websites of schools in their area. Sometimes there are programs that allow one to work from an RN, ADN, towards a Masters. It may make sense to get an ADN and then work as an RN while completing one's BSN or RN to Masters.
