Rn Nurse questions and answers
Got questions about Rn Nurse, well we've got the answers at Nursing Online Learning.
Q: How do I become a RN nurse when I grow up?
I'm in 7th grade, and in college I want to try to become a RN nurse. How many years of college do I need to become a RN nurse, and what degree do I need? do I need to go to nursing school as well?
A: Well first of you have to go to college to become an registered nurse. Here are some things you can do now to help you get there faster.
1. Get your Certified Nursing Assistant CNA. There are so many places that offer a fast tract program instead of taking the semester long course at a college. They also pay for you to go take the State Certified Exam. (big benefit)
2. Once you get your CNA, USE IT!!!!! You can work at the hospital or a senior nursing home.
3. When you got on with a hospital (for example) they will pay for you to further your education. Its called tuition reimbursement. I got my company to pay for all of my nursing school. I just had to work for them for 2 years after I graduated. However, there is a catch. You need to maintain a certain GPA to get this advantage.
4. You can either get at Bachelors or Associates in Nursing. There are a couple differences. The Bachelors takes 4 years. You can be a supervisor if you have a Bachelors as well. Also its a couple dollars more an hour if you get your Bachelors. In the Associates it take 2 years. Honestly my opinion get your Associates first and than go back to school to get your Bachelors.
5. To get into a nursing program your grades need to be the best of the best! You have a better chance of getting in to a program if your grades are very good.
6. You need to take pre recs to get into the program. In AZ the pre recs are Chemistry, alot of Biology, Math and English. You will learn more about which classes to take when you get to the college point in your life.
Hopefully this helped! Best of Luck!!!! And let me tell you getting there is hard, but its totally worth it!!! I love my JOB!
Q: How many years does it take to earn a degree/certificate etc to be an RN nurse?
I want to be an RN nurse and currently almost through with one semester of liberal arts studies.How many yeras on the average does it take to get a certificate that can qualify me to be an RN nurse just like the others in the hospitals i see?Am in a community college now.
A: Understand that RN (Registered Nurse) is a license from the state and not a degree from a college.
You can take the RN qualifying exam if you have an associates degree in nursing (ADN), a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) or a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN). The degree determines the level of jobs you can get but all are an RN. Some jobs require the higher degrees but most do not.
Some people get confused and think there are different kinds of RN - there are not. There are however, different kinds of nurse and some RNs advance to other designations in addition to their RN license - such as FNP (Family Nurse Practitioner) [who is also an RN but has a master's degree and a special certification] or the MICN (Mobile Intensive Care Nurse) who has specialized training to work with very high tech ambulances (and helicopters) and is also an RN.
The answer to your question is "2 years is the minimum time to qualify to take the RN exam in every state in the US"
Q: What is the best way for me to go about going to college to be an RN nurse with time for my child?
I am about to have my first baby and i am young. I will be financially tight and i really want to go to college to be an RN nurse. I am planning to work in the hospitals nursery. The problem is i do not have any resorces to help me find the best way to do this. Could you please give me any suggestions on how i could set up a schedule to leave time for my family or any other kind of information that could be helpful. Thank You.
A: I would suggest starting off by going to school online for your BSN. That will prevent you from having to leave your child home with an expensive sitter and it will get you through the program quicker.
While going to school online you will hit a milestone and get you LPN. Once you ave that you have the option of working and making enough to pay for daycare. This is important because the experience will be necessary to get your RN.
After a few years you will have a BSN, LPN and the experience required to get your RN.
hopefully that helps.
And don't forget to continue on to get your Masters in Health Administration so you cna be the boss of the nurses some day, maybe run your own dept.
Good Luck
Q: How do I become a RN nurse? What is being an RN nurse like?
How many years of college and/or nursing school does it take to become a RN nurse? How much will it cost?
How is a RN nurse different from a regular nurse?
RN nurse help with big stuff like surgery and stuff, and don't change bed pans and bed sheets like regular nurses right?
How much do RN nurses make per year?
What degrees should I get to become an RN nurse?
What is being an RN nurse like?
A: An RN is a regular nurse. Nursing school takes about 2 years to complete however the prerequisites can take a year or longer to complete. As a nurse, yes sometimes you are changing bedpans and making beds and all that good stuff. I made almost 70,000 last year, my second year as a nurse, working 3 to 4 days a week. I just have an associates RN degree, you can go for your BSN but there is no real economic advantage to it unless you want to get into management. I love being a nurse, I love helping my patients, I feel like I'm doing something important and something that really makes a difference.
Q: Are there any colleges for a student to become an RN nurse?
I have a associate degree in Medical Assisting. Would that transfer any credits toward becoming an nurse at a different college/university. Are there any colleges in Chicago, Illinois that teach RN nursing?
A: There are a lot of school that offer nursing programs-technical schools, universities, etc. You just have to check into all of them. I'm sure some or all of your credits will transfer to most schools, it sounds like you have a good start on your education. Just be aware that if you apply to a technical school, you will most likely be put on a very long waiting list! It's probably better and possibly quicker to just go to a university for nursing. (which is what I'm doing)
Q: How can I become an RN nurse in Ga?
I am finishing my high school deploma in june or july online from Penn Foster.
I was wondering what all is required to become an RN?
What type of school work is it?
How long does it take?
Can I do it online?
Also I am exploring all types of nurse positions I was woundering what exactly does an RN do? As in do they take peoples blood, give shots etc?
A: There is an exception^.
Q: How long does it take for a RN nurse to get a job after graduation?
I was just curious how long it takes to get a job as an RN after graduation from a nursing program? Is this a fast process or a slow process. How does the boards/inclex process work? We would be looking for a job in middle Tennessee.
A: I began working as a student nurse technician several months before I graduated from nursing school, and then I was guaranteed a nursing position as soon as I became a GN.
Honestly, no matter where you want to work, I don't think you'll have any problem finding a job in nursing. The hiring around here has slowed down considerably, but graduate nurses are still able to find full-time employment.
If you are currently a nursing student, I recommend that you find a job as a student nurse tech or CNA. That will greatly increase your chances and ease your transition into working as a GN.
I graduated in March of 03 and took the NCLEX in April. You apply for licensure first, then you submit your application for the NCLEX. When you apply for the NCLEX, you receive your Authorization to Test (ATT) and then you can schedule the date and time with your local testing center.
It sounds complicated, but it's not that bad.
For information about the test itself, see this link:

Q: what if you are really bad at math is it possiable to still become a rn nurse?
i want to be a rn nurse really bad.but i am not very good at math and i am very scared that i wont make it.
A: Yes you can, the math for nursing is basic, so just study hard, and study in groups, get tutoring (it helped me a lot).
Math is like any other subject, you just need to keep practice and do your homework, the people who are good in math they do that only.
Q: How long to be in college to be a RN nurse?
Im in the 8th grade at southside middle school. When i grow up i want to b a RN nurse
A: there are two routes to getting your RN degree:
1. Associate Degree Nurse: 2 years
2. Bachelor of Science in Nursing: 4 years
they both perform the same duties. the only difference is in the amount of pay. usually ADN's start oput 4-6 dollars less than BSN. go for the BSN!!
Q: How much does an RN nurse make a year?
how much does and RN nurse make a year? Does having your BSN cause a large pay increase?
A: an RN can pull in between $22 to $30 an hour. With a BSN, the pay might be a few bucks higher. But here is the thing ... the big difference ude more to experience rather than the degree.
Q: How hard is it to get your RN (registered nurse)?
Im planning on becoming a CNA (certified nursing assistant) (start the 2 part course in the fall, takes about a year), then a year of gerenal classes to prep me for nursing school, then devote 2 years to the RN (registered nurse) program. I would like to know how difficult it is, and if getting my CNA will help me at all.
A: Yah its hard. You have to have higher then a c in all science classes(anatomy, physiology and microbiology) and in an english class. Then you have to get a c or higher on the teas exam. Then you can apply but they recommend you to take all your co-reques and additional requirments before you enter. They are like psychology, anthropology, statistics, History, humanity and communications. Then you can apply when you have all the pre-reques done and some or all of your others classes. At my school they have 250-300 people apply each semester and only 80 make it it. The lowest GPA for the prereques last semester was 3.4 or a solid B average! Just study hard and really focus and you can do it! As far as the CNA it might help but it is your grades that make all the difference in he end!
Q: Can I be a RN nurse and still be a doctor?
I heard you can major in anything for Bachelor degree and still be a doctor so can i be a RN nurse and still be a doctor?
A: you can major in anything but you need to take a fair amount of science and math to get into med school. Becoming a nurse is done in grad school so the major doesn't matter
Q: I want to study for Registered Nurse (RN) I wanted to know what kind of special directions of RN are available
I wanted to know, once I apply for RN if there are some special courses of study for different types of nurses?
All information will be appreciated.
A: The first answerer is correct - When you first start out you should get a general education and not really specialize in anything. I am enrolled for a nursing degree right now to get my RN certification myself. The program I'm in is broadly general and doesn't specialize. They'll be time for that later after I get my degree - I haven't really decided exactly what track I want to take at this point yet anyway.....
Q: How long does it take for an LPN (Liscensed Practical Nurse) to become and RN (Registered Nurse)?
I'm considering being a nurse but you have to be an LPN then become and RN.( That's what I have heard so far) How long does that take and what classes in college do I have to take to become one?
A: You do not have to be an LPN first (to my knowledge) in any state before getting the RN. You could call schools in your area to confirm.
If you choose to go this route, it's about 12-15 months to earn the LPN then another 12-15 months to earn an associates degree RN after that. But if you want the RN, just go straight into an RN program. Either the associates route, which will take 2 years minimum but you may need more time for pre reqs, or a BSN is 4 years minimum if you go full time every semester.
Every school's nursing programs have different admissions requirements, but most require general freshman biology, gen. chemistry, anatomy & physiology, and sometimes microbiology. You will also have general education courses in things like English, psychology, history, sociology, etc.
It's best to visit with the school's admissions reps to find out their specific policies and there are usually very detailed in how you have to apply to the nursing program.
Q: How long does it take to become a Registered Nurse (RN)?
I start community college this summer. I'm going to get my associates in nursing. After that I want to pursue my education and become an RN. I definitely have more goals after this but I want to finish step one first. Could anyone give me any advice? How long does it take? How many classes should I take a semester? What should I look forward to? Any advice? Thanks in advance. =]
A: 2 years at a technical school serves what is necessary to become a nurse with an associate's along with passing the exam.
It takes four years to receive a Bachelor's and if you're sure you want to progress further in the field you should go straight to that where you will get more hands on experiences, as opposed to opting for the 2 year degree. For licensure as an Rn, once again--exam pass is required.
If you do decide to go the 2 year route, if you work in a hospital many of them are willing to help pay for you to go on to receive your bachelors. Also, there are fast track program to go RN-BSN in as small as one year.....
Talk with a counselor or email someone working in that department of a college for details
