Asked by ashley
I just recently gained an interest in becoming a nurse. I never had before. How many years of education are required? And how many different kinds of nurses are there? Or is there just a "registered nurse"? Also, if there are different kinds of nurses, which one is paid the best? Thank you!

Best Answer:
Registered Nurses(RN), Licensed Nurses(LPN),Nurse Practitioner those are the ones i know of ... it takes anywhere from 2years for LPN and or RN or you can go to a 4 year college for your RN not really sure how long for the practitioner at this moment. The Nurse Practitioner pays the most. but then it is the RN then the LPN. hope this helps some.
A:
I think 4 yrs, but in some universities 3 yrs. it depends on the school rules.
