Your child is about to begin life as a senior in high school. In my day senior year used to be fun; however, nowadays seventeen and eighteen-year olds face a year fraught with stress – both external and internal, particularly, that dreaded college application. In an adolescent’s mind not getting into the college of his or her choice is equivalent to being handed a life sentence.

The type of nursing degree a nursing student wants to earn depends on how much education he or she wishes to pursue and the time frame in which he or she wishes to accomplish it. Here is a synopsis of the various types of nursing degrees and the general amount of time it takes to obtain them.

Licensed practical nurses (called licensed vocational nurses in California and Texas) typically attend classes for 12 months on a full-time basis or 18-24 months on a part-time basis at an accredited vocational school, community college, trade school, or even in a hospital setting. Some of the classes may be completed online; however, classes that have lab modules require classroom study. Additionally, hands-on, bedside tasks such as drawing blood, giving injections, and inserting Foley catheters can only be learned in real time at a patient’s bedside. LVNs work in hospital settings and doctor offices, for home health agencies, in nursing homes, or even as school nurses.

The associate degree in nursing (ADN) and the associate degree of science in nursing (ASN) require a two-year investment on a full-time basis. Once the nursing student has completed the scholastic curriculum and has passed the National Council Licensure Exam (NCLEX) for Registered Nurses, he or she is a licensed registered nurse.
