The most popular program is the associate degree, which takes an average of two to three years to complete. One of the perks associated with this path is that once you've obtained the degree, you can apply for an entry-level position that offers benefits—including tuition reimbursement and college credit toward your two-year bachelor's degree. This choice also provides valuable hands-on experience in the field while earning an education. Going straight for the bachelor's program takes four years, and a diploma can take three to five years. After completing any of these programs a nurse must pass a national licensing examination. Nursing degree education requirements vary based on state, and a nurse may sometimes be required to take the local NCLEX-RN examination to work in a new state, so make sure you research the requirements in the state where you want to practice by contacting the state board of nursing.
