Most colleges, or community colleges have programs. They're often a 2 or 4 year program with clinical training in addition to the academics, and once you pass your state exam, you're licensed and employable. Check around some of the colleges near where you live. Dallas is a big city, so I'm sure there's at least two or three schools. Many RN programs are very competitive - you'll need to keep a minimum B average to stay in the program, and if you aren't accepted your first time applying or get wait listed, don't get discouraged! Take the prereq's (A&P, Chem, etc.) and do well in those, and you'll better your chances next round.

Good luck! A good nurse can work ANYWHERE and pretty much write her own ticket!

To be an RN you need more than a certification. You need at least an Associate degree (2yr) from a college. You can also become an RN with a Bachelor degree (4yr) college degree. Some places pay their RNs more if they have a BSN (4yr) degree versus an ASN (2yr) degree. Some places also have a higher top wage for BSN versus ASN. Also, some places require that you have a BSN if you ever want to advance into nursing management.

After school, you have to pass a state exam to get your license. You also have to renew your license every 2 years or so. This requires that you attend seminars or classes to keep up with the changes in nursing.

Sounds like it is more of just the policies of one facility that the staff are not happy about. Not all facilities treat their staff badly. If you want to achieve the BSN or MSN degree, it may be better to do it all at the start instead of going back. I know many nurses who became RN's with an ADN and never went back since they were tired of schooling. In my case. I didn't see the need for further schooling and am happy with where I am without it. Most of my management team beneath me do have BSN degrees, but it still does not mean you get to the top of the ladder with it.

First, be sure that you want to become one. It is hard to be a nurse but loving. Search for Nursing programs that fill all the requirements. It is better to go for bachelor degree in Sciences of Nursing that a associate degree. You get more position, more opportunities and benefits. Texas have many opportunities for jobs in nursing. Good Luck!!

Contact your local community college but do not enroll without talking to your local university or college. The community college will have a counselor who will give you the best advise for local education to become a rn. My gf is a ma ( in ga thats a two year degree) and is presently enrolled in night classes to fulfill her rn 4yr degree.

Check with local colleges and junior colleges - most of them probably have RN programs. You'd have to pass the appropriate schooling, then take a state test to be licensed.
