Nursing Programs in Hawaii
Becoming a Registered Nurse (RN) in Hawaii requires attending a Hawaii Board of Nursing approved Associate's or baccalaureate nursing program. Upon successful completion of the nursing program, graduates will be eligible to sit for the NCLEX licensure by examination.

The BSN or baccalaureate degree is four years in length and offered at four year colleges and universities in Hawaii. Below you will find the two and four year nursing programs offered in Hawaii that are Board of Nursing approved.
With the ailing economy and no positive end in sight, the nursing professions has become one of the most exciting and stable career fields to enter. The nursing shortage in Hawaii along with the aging population will generate numerous job openings for registered nurses through the next two decades. Career advancement for registered nurses is also a great reason to enter the field. Many career paths in nursing will not require any further education than the ADN, ASN or BSN and with experience, salaries continue to increase.
