What education is required to become a registered nurse.?

We Answered:

There are three basic routes to becoming an registered nurse:

Associates degree in nursing: usually two years, or four semesters in length (after general education prerequisites are completed) usually done at community colleges or trade schools.

Bachelors degree in nursing, or BSN: Four year program done at a university.

Diploma nurses: Most of these programs have died out in favor of more well rounded liberal arts based education, but are two to four years in length and are usually offered in training hospitals and are thought to include more hands on experience.

Upon completion of an accredited program students are then eligible to take the NCLEX-RN (National Council Licensing Examination for Registered Nurses), which has to passed in order to be called an RN.

We Answered:

I'm not in the medical field at all but I googled BECOMING A REGISTERED NURSE AUSTRALIA and a lot of sites came up.

There was this one:-

& lots of others.

We are experiencing a dreadful shortage of trained medical workers in Australia presently. You may have to do some kind of extra study but I'm sure you would be welcomed with open arms.

Good Luck.

Dennis Said:

How do you become a registered nurse?

We Answered:

The minimum is 2 years. You can earn either a 2 year Associates Degree in Nursing, or a 4 year Bachelors Degree in Nursing.

Usually there are pre-requisites you need to take before starting the nursing program though, so it might be more like 3 years realistically.

And all schools, whether 2 year program or 4 year, are competative and difficult to get in. Not impossible, but you might not get in the first year you apply. It might take some persistence. Apply to more than one school, for sure.
