Help!

Alright, so I don't know if this is the right forum but whatever. Okay so I'm a senior in high school and need help. I know I definitely want to go into nursing and I've been looking at colleges and am thinking of doing 2 years of community college to become an RN and then maybe transferring to a four-year college (rn to bsn) program. What I need help on is I see that some people are still doing community college and still doing school after the 2 years *same college* but I'm confused because a RN program (from what I've read) only lasts about 2 years... while these people are, say, on their 3rd year of college out of their 4th??? This is probably a stupid question but I would really appreciate the feedback because I'm lost!

    Well, first of all, you've posted in the forum for 'post-graduate' nurses - which means nurses who already have a master's degree and are going beyond that in education. So- alert a moderator and have this posted into nursing students or general nursing, ok?

    And to answer your question, a 'two year' nursing program is generally only entered AFTER you have completed pre-requisite courses like anatomy, chemistry and the like. Those prereqs can and often do take several years to complete. THEN you apply to the nursing part of the program. Which is why it takes sometimes 4-6 YEARS for a person to complete a 'two year degree'.
