Nursing School Degree Help!?

Category: Health Care

ValerieValerie


I want to be a nurse so badly, but when it comes to choosing schools I'm stuck. There is a community college near me that offers one of the best nursing programs around. Three Rivers Community College. It is a two year nursing program. But I do want to become a RN which is typically a four year program. My only question is that, would it be possible to transfer to a four year college after I go to Three Rivers? I looked on websites and I can't find an answer.

By the way, CT or MA is where I will be going for a four year degree.

Thank you!

A two year program should get you an associates in nursing, which is an RN. Most 4 year RN programs accept candidates with an associate degree to further their education for a bachelors degree.

Becoming an RN is NOT typically a 4 year degree. It is confirmed by passage of the NCLEX exam and either a 2 years RN program of a 4 year RN program allows you to do that. So if the program at Three Rivers is a RN program (not a LPN) you will be a RN at the end.
