Do I get my RN in the process of getting my BSN for Nursing?

to be an RN (registered nurse), you have to p the NCLEX-RN and obtain your RN license. you are qualified to take the exam only after finishing a nursing program. it doesnt really matter the length of time of the program as long as it's accredited. meaning, if youre only after the RN license, then a two year program (AS) will suffice. but if you want to move up and youre thinking of going into administration or getting a masters degree on a nursing specialty later on, then you'd have to get a bachelors degree (doesnt really have to be a BSN but if youre already studying nursing then might as well). hope that helps. good luck!
