how many years would it take to be an RN (nurse)?

Answer 1

It theoretically could be done in two years. With prerequisites and competition for entry, people rarely are able to get it done in that time, however.

Answer 2

Usually three years at an accredited school of nursing associated with a hospital. If you wish to become a nurse teacher at a school you need a four year college nursing degree.

Answer 3

I know at my community college it's a year of pre-rec's and then 2 years in the actual program. Some community college have accelerated courses that will take you a year to year and a half if your already a LPN.
