Answer 2

In many states you can get the training to be an RN with an Associates Degree (2 yrs) However, you still must pass State Boards before you are a REGISTERED nurse.
There are also many programs that help nurses with an Asso. Degree get their bachelor's degree later.
Do check with your State Board of Nursing to see what the requirements are. Also check with them about the accreditation of the program you want to enter.

Answer 3

At most junior colleges, the RN program would be two years. Coursework and clinical work won't be easy. Admission to the programs is usually quite competitive.

You have a very ambitious few years mapped out.

Good luck.
