Associates Degree in Nursing (ADN)
Specializations
Earning an associate degree in nursing is one of the most common pathways potential nurses follow. What are the benefits? First, it takes less time to earn your associate degree in nursing than it does to earn a 4-year bachelor degree in nursing. This benefits those who have a busy schedule and less money to invest in their nursing education; furthermore, the online nursing courses offered through various associate degree programs make it even more convenient to earn this degree while you keep your current source of income. All you need is a passion for learning about nursing and an Internet connection! Earning your nursing associate degree typically takes 2 years to complete. Once finished, to become a Registered Nurse, an associate degree holder must pass the National Council Licensure Examination, also known as the NCLEX. If you're wondering whether an associate degree versus a longer, more in depth bachelor degree will decrease your chances of getting a nursing job, think again. Both degree holders have to pass the same test to become an RN and are evaluated by the same criteria. Once you have completed your nursing associate degree program, passed the NCLEX and have proven that you're capable and passionate, your employability in the nursing world will be credible. You just have to go for it! Explore potential schools that offer associate degree programs in nursing--both online and on-campus--that work for you by requesting information today via Medi-Smart.
