Registered Nursing (RN) Programs in Washington - WA

Are you looking to become a registered nurse in the state of Washington? You will need to earn an associate's or baccalaureate degree in nursing from an approved or accredited college or university. These programs will prepare you for the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) exam which needs to be taken and passed to earn the title of registered nurse.

An associate degree prepares nursing students with foundations in clinical nursing and nursing theory and is an excellent pathway to becoming a registered nurse. A baccalaureate degree in nursing (BSN) prepares nursing students for advanced roles in nursing such as a charge nurse and other leadership positions where earnings often are significantly higher.

A BSN program is often a 4-year program while an associate's program can most often be completed in 2 years. There really is no wrong choice since all fields of nursing and all education levels in nursing are being highly sought after in the job market. You always have the option to pursue an advanced degree or BSN after you earn an associate degree by entering an rn to bsn program. Rn to bsn programs are frequently accelerated and offered as online programs. Check out the campus locations to find a program near you with the philosophy that fits your goals.
