License practical nurses spend one to two years learning their profession. Registered nurses spend two to four years learning their profession. Three different types of programs lead to an RN license: A 2-year program at a community or junior college awards an Associate Degree in nursing. A 3-year program is affiliated with community and state colleges that grant college credits. A 4-year program in a college or university leads to a Baccalaureate or Bachelor Degree in nursing.
