How long does it take to become a nurse?

You've been getting incorrect information. As a full-time student;

LPN - one year

RN - two years; 4 years for B.S. degree

Previous posters are correct when they say that there are different times involved in becoming a nurse at different levels.

BSN programs take about 4 years, if you are going full time.

Associates degrees may take from 2-3 years to complete.

Diploma programs are being phased out in most states, but take 2-3 years as well.

Many people start working with an associates degree, but take courses for their BS while they are working.

As for the amount of math you need, there is a certain amount of math needed for any science field. Chemistry is especially math intensive.

I agree with Mike.

Check with your state to see what they require as far as Bachelors of Nursing, or RN, or LPN. The further along you go in school, the more you can do.

Two years for an LPN or CNA

Four years for RN

Six for a nurse practioner.

4 years than tale the licensure...i you didint pass then it will take you long enough to be a nurse
