It depends. An associate is usually 2 years and a bachelors is usually 4. Good luck. 2D

Typically, an associates will take about two years. However, I was told by a nursing professor at my school that there is talk about phasing out the ADN (associate degree in nursing). No one is sure, but just to make you aware of that. A few hospitals in my area are pushing for only BSN's,, she said, but if there is a big enough shortage in nurses, no one knows.
If you go for a bachelor of science in nursing, this is typically four years. Of course, keep in mind that nursing classes are a heavy workload, so you may need to space your classes out. Plus there are extensive wait lists for get into clinicals at many schools, so do your research as to where you go. Good Luck!

All the diploma schools closed down. They were three years.
You can get an associate degree in two years. Less if you can CLEP a bunch of the classes.
You can get a bachelors degree in four years. Again, less if you CLEP classes.

though I wanted to add...for an associates it may take longer than 2 years because many schools have wait lists for nursing programs.

True, 2D is correct. Congratulations on your choice in careers, there aren't enough RN's out there.
