How much school is required to become a RN in Georgia?

To become a registered nurse (RN) in Georgia, you will need to complete either an associate degree in nursing (ADN) or a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN). The ADN program typically takes two years to complete, while the BSN program takes four years.

Once you have completed your nursing education, you will need to pass the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) to become licensed as a registered nurse. The NCLEX-RN is a standardized exam that tests the knowledge and skills of nursing candidates.

In addition to the education and licensure requirements, Georgia also has a number of other requirements for RNs, such as:

- Must be at least 18 years old

- Must have a high school diploma or equivalent

- Must be able to speak, read, and write English fluently

- Must not have been convicted of a felony or certain misdemeanors
