Nursing school, how long did you go for?


I know some people who went to the schools that are like not so long , how ever I forgot what schools they are and how long they are.

RN = 4 years (Registered Nurse)
LPN = 2 years (Licensed Practical Nurse)

Here are your options:

Associates of Nursing: 2 years
Bachelors of Nursing: 4 years

If you have your bachelors in another subject:

Bachelors of Nursing (post-bach program): 18 months

If you have your associates of nursing but want your bachelors, then this time varies greatly. Depending on how fast you want to go through.

The advantage of having your bachelors of nursing vs. associates is that you'll be able to do so much more as a nurse, and so many more avenues you can do.

If you want to be a nurse and don't care to be anything else but a nurse, and you don't like school, then maybe an associates would be right for you.
