There are a lot of things you need to consider when becoming a nurse: Which degree should you get? Which license? What type of nurse should you become? It can be pretty overwhelming. That's why we've put together this guide covering everything you need to know about how to become a nurse.
Ready to get started? Just keep reading, or jump to the section that interests you most using the links below:
How to become a nurse will vary based on what kind of nurse you want to become and where you are on your healthcare journey. If you're brand new to nursing and the medical field, you'll have a longer road ahead than someone who's already practicing as an RN , but wants to advance their education.
Wherever you are on your path, here are the basic steps you'll need to take to become a nurse. For more specific routes for each type and level of nursing, keep scrolling.
Whatever route you choose - be it CNA, LPN, ADN, BSN, or anything else - you want to make sure your program is accredited. If you don't go with an accredited program, it can impact your job prospects and your ability to transfer your credits down the road.
You've got your degree, but you're not done yet. Now you need to prove your competency by passing an exam to earn your license. For registered nurses, this will be the NCLEX-RN, but each nursing career type will have it's own licensing exam and state certification requirements.
If you want to specialize in a certain area of nursing, you'll want to earn additional certifications in that area.
As a nurse, your education never really stops. You'll be required to keep up with your Continuing Education Units (CEUs) each year. Additionally, for nurses, salary is closely linked to your level of education. So, if you want to earn more down the road, you may want to go back to school for your BSN, MSN, DNP or more.
The first step in becoming a nurse is nursing school. But it’s not that simple. You need to choose a program (CNA, LPN, ADN, BSN) figure out what prerequisites and other requirements you need for that program, figure out how to pay for school, and oh so much more.
When it comes to nursing school, there are a LOT of options available, but which is right for you will depend on your overall career goals, your financial situation, and a number of other factors. Here are the different nursing programs available.
A certified nursing assistant , or CNA, help patients with activities of daily living and other healthcare needs under the direct supervision of a Registered Nurse (RN) or Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). CNA’s are also commonly referred to as a Nursing Assistant, Patient Care Assistant (PCA), or a Nurse’s Aid.
This is a good option for individuals that need to work during school, want to get healthcare experience for their application (some nursing programs make having your CNA a requirement), or determine which aspect of nursing is the best fit.
Education: State-approved education program that includes both instruction on the principles of nursing and supervised clinical work.
Salary: $30,310 per year per the BLS
An LPN is responsible for providing patients with essential care, which includes helping them to eat, dress, bathe, etc. They also assist Registered Nurses and doctors in keeping detailed records, maintaining clear communication between the entire care team and working with patients and their families.
This degree is good for individuals that were waitlisted to a nursing program, did not get into an accredited nursing program, need to work throughout nursing school, or do not have the ability to pay for a nursing program.
Education: LPN/LVN program + NCLEX-PN completion
An Associate Degree in Nursing , or ADN, is a one of the two main types of registered nurse programs, the other being a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing. There are a number of differences between the two programs. Here's what you need to know about earning your ADN.
Some of the primary reasons aspiring nurses choose an ADN program are:
Considered the gold standard for nursing degrees, a BSN degree is the other main degree for becoming a registered nurse. A BSN can typically be completed in three to four years and you'll find them at traditional university.
Earning a BSN does have many benefits over the other aforementioned nursing options, including:
If you already have a bachelor's degree in another field and want to become a registered nurse, there's a special degree for you called Accelerated Bachelors of Science in Nursing (ABSN) degree programs .
Depending on the program structure and intensity, accelerated programs range from 12 months to 19 months, though some can be as long as 2 years.
During nursing school, students get to experience working in some different nursing specialties, but definitely not all of them. This can make it difficult for new nurses to pick a specialty when applying for nursing positions.
It’s important to take each clinical rotation and specialty into consideration. Give each rotation an opportunity and a fair shot. But consider if you can see yourself in that specialty. Is this a specialty that will fulfill you and challenge you?
No one can decide what specialty of nursing you should go into but remember your goals. For example:
Different specialties for new graduates include:
Becoming a nurse is often just the first step. Many nurses go on to continue their education. Here are some of the ways you can advance your education as a nurse:
If you're already a registered nurse with an Associate's Degree in Nursing, you don't have to start all over to get your bachelor's degree. You can take the skills and experience you already have, and use them in an accelerated RN-to-BSN program.
An RN-to-BSN program is typically shorter than a standard BSN and it can be completed online! Learn more about RN-to-BSN programs here .
For nurses who want to pursue graduate work to advance their careers, a Master of Science in Nursing degree offers options and opportunities in the clinical realm, education, informatics, and in administration.
This is a basic advanced degree in nursing and most specialize in a specific field of nursing. Here’s a list of all the types of masters degrees in nursing .
Doctors of Nursing Practice (DNP) deliver high-quality advanced nursing care in a clinical setting. A DNP is a terminal degree for advanced practice nurses.
DNP graduates are leaders in advanced nursing practice that bring evidence-based knowledge into the clinical setting to help improve healthcare outcomes and strengthen the leadership role of nurses in both the clinical and academic setting.
In 2021, on average NPs make an annual salary of $120,680, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics; interestingly, there is minimal concrete data on the average annual salary of a DNP.
Healthcare salary trends suspect DNPs average $125,000 to $150,000 per year. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has very limited data on DNP salaries but the reported average is $135,830.
There are sooo many good reasons to become a nurse. Many feel called to the profession because they're natural caregivers. Others had a nurse in their life who influenced them, and some people are just looking for a career where they can feel good about what they are doing and make a difference.
Beyond the emotional reasons for wanting to get into nursing, there are also some more practical ones.
Nursing is one of the most in-demand professions. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS), employment of registered nurses is projected to grow 7% in the next decade, which is significantly faster than the growth for most other professions.
According to the BLS, the median salary for registered nurses in the United States is $77,600 per year or $37.31 per hour. This will vary depending on the environment your working in, your location, your experience, your education, and your specific expertise.
There is truly something for everyone when it comes to nursing. Check out this list of all the types of nurses to learn about all the different options out there.
