"To become an RN, or a registered nurse, you must first complete a course of study in nursing. Either a two year course of study, resulting in an Associates in Nursing, or a four year course of study, resulting in a bachelor's in nursing. Either, will allow you to sit for your State Licensing Exam, to become an RN. For those who are wishing a practice in clinical nursing, the two year course of study, is usually sufficient. This will allow you to become a registered nurse, in the shortest amount of time. If you wish a career in a sub specialty in nursing, such as surgical nursing, or if you wish a career in nursing administration, then it's advisable to complete the four year course of study, resulting in the bachelor's of nursing. Either way, either the two year course of study, or the four year course of study, the next step is to sit for your State Licensing Exam, and upon passing your licensing exam, you will become a registered nurse, and will be able to practice in the health care industry."
