Frequently asked questions about becoming
a registered nurse

Registered nurses (RNs) are individuals who have completed all of the necessary educational and licensure requirements as set forth by the Board of Nursing in each state. RNs often perform a wide range of duties, including assessing and evaluating patient care, administering medications, using medical equipment to run diagnostic tests, educating family members and patients on diseases and treatments, documenting patient information and vital signs, developing nursing care plans, and much more.

There are three basic ways you can become a registered nurse in the United States.

  1. You can complete a diploma program. Diploma programs aren’t as common as the other two methods below, but they are still just as viable. These are usually offered by hospitals, and they take approximately 2-3 years to complete.
  1. You can complete an associate’s degree in nursing, also called an ADN degree. An associate’s degree is usually offered by technical schools or community colleges, and they generally take 2-3 years to complete.
  1. You can complete a bachelor’s degree in nursing, also called a BSN degree. A BSN degree is offered by the traditional colleges and universities, and they typically take about four years to complete.

The time it takes to become a registered nurse will largely depend on the type of degree program you choose to pursue. On average, it takes about 2-4 years to complete the educational requirements to become an RN (depending on which degree type you pursue), and after that, you’ll have to sit for the NCLEX-RN exam. Once you pass the NCLEX-RN exam, you’ll be licensed to practice in your state.

Duties of a Registered Nurse in a hospital or nursing home entail many things. Registered Nurses (RNs) are responsible for a wide variety of care provided to patients. Not only are they responsible for taking care of patients but they must delegate to CNAs and supervise Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs).

Besides in class teaching, videos are a great medium to demonstrate and transmit the knowledge required for clinical nursing practice. All courses you’ll find in the Lecturio Nursing-RN curriculum are relevant for RN students, such as: 

  • Study Skills: Learn How to Study Nursing
  • Medical-Surgical Nursing (Med-Surg)
  • Pediatric Nursing (release in progress)
  • Pharmacology (Nursing)
  • Dosage Calculation (Nursing)
  • Leadership (Nursing)
  • Mental Health (Nursing) 
  • Physiology (Nursing)
  • Nursing Prerequisites

Lecturio’s video course “Study Skills: Learn How to Study Nursing” guides students through the exciting journey of becoming a registered nurse. 

This course explains how our brains process information, tips and tricks on how to stop procrastinating and the common myths and illusions about learning.

At Lecturio, you’ll find integrated recall questions in all videos to enhance your active learning. These questions are not to be confused with end of course exam questions or NCLEX questions. These types of questions will be added in the near future since Lecturio is aimed at becoming an all-in-one resource for nursing students.

This course explains how our brains process information, tips and tricks on how to stop procrastinating and the common myths and illusions about learning.

Choosing  a nursing school study resource is an important decision. You may ask your upperclassmen or friends for advice based on their experience. Still, what works for them may not always work for you, so we recommend creating a list of resources, prioritizing them, and then testing them, since most study resources provide an option for a free trial. At Lecturio, you can also create your free account to take a closer look inside. Lecturio is the perfect resource for you if you: 
  • want to understand relevant nursing school subjects better
  • like videos for studying 
  • prefer learning from experienced nursing educators that really know how to teach a subject and how to make the information stick in your brain.
