Myth #1: You Need Years of Schooling to Become a Nurse
Fact: Nursing doesn’t always require a four-year commitment. While a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) can take four years, you can also earn an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) in just 2-3 years, enabling you to sit for the NCLEX-RN and become licensed. In fact, many nurses begin their careers with an ADN, then pursue a BSN or specialized certifications later on.
Plus, accelerated programs are available for those who already have a degree in another field. So, you can jump into nursing faster than you think!
