Registered Nurse Degree

Registered nurses (RNs) are assigned more specialized responsibilities than licensed practical nurses (LPNs). As a result, they earn more money and are more likely to receive a promotion.

To work as a registered nurse, most states require that applicants hold a bachelor's degree in nursing, pass a national standardized test, and satisfy their state's specific licensing requirements. Many accredited schools now offer online degree programs in nursing, which makes it possible for LPNs or nursing aides to earn a bachelor's degree as they gain experience working in the nursing field.
