The minimum training time is 2 years for an associate degree. This will allow you to sit for the state board exams and work on a general nursing unit. If you want to work in a highly skilled area, you might want to consider going for the 4 year Bachelors degree. Whether you go 2 years or 4 years, you will still take the same exam for your licensure. The 4 year will open a lot more doors for you later on to advance your career. I started out with the 2 year degree and then later went back for the bachelors and it took another 3 years full time since I was short on the general education requirements, so I took 5 years to get my higher degree. But I am now the administrator of a nursing home and making a good living, something I would not be able to do if I only had the associate degree. Good luck with your studies.

In most states you can get your RN degree in as little as 2 years. Anything less and you will not gain the knowledge you need to really do your job. There are different levels of an RN degree. Some go straight to a four year program. Really check out your programs before signing on for any of them. Good luck.
