Registered nurse licence (RN)
The licence you cannot work as a registered nurse without. Two routes lead to the same exam and the same licence — a two-year associate degree or a four-year bachelor's — and they cost very different amounts.
Što košta da se dobije - srednja polovina raspona.
Mjeseci obuke, puno radno vrijeme, a nepuno radno vrijeme traje duže.
Mjeseci primanja potrebni su da se pokrene taj trošak, a ne mjeseci dok ne budeš u prednosti - vrijeme obuke je prvo.

Šta je taj trošak, a šta nije?
The low end is the 25th percentile across institutions offering the two-year associate route; the high end is the 75th percentile across institutions offering the four-year bachelor's. That range is median cumulative FEDERAL LOAN DEBT at completion, not a tuition sticker price and not total cost. It is what completers actually borrowed, so it excludes grants, savings, family money, employer funding and living costs — which makes it a FLOOR on what the credential costs, never a ceiling. The low and high figures are the 25th and 75th percentiles across the institutions that report a figure for this programme, so a quarter of institutions sit below the low end. College Scorecard pools two award years into each figure; the release used here is dated 10 June 2026.
Two years full time for the associate route, four for the bachelor's. Both end at the same NCLEX-RN exam and the same licence, and employers increasingly prefer the bachelor's — which is the reason the cheaper route is not automatically the better one.
The licence renews every one to three years depending on the state, with continuing-education requirements attached.
Koliko ljudi drži ovo, i koliko radi na terenu
Koliko ljudi zarađuje ovo svake godine?
226,946 people who passed the NCLEX-RN licensing exam for US licensure — 2025, calendar year 2025.
Ne pretvaramo to u postotak. Ovo je godišnji tok - ljudi koji su stekli vjerodajnice u jednoj godini. Brojevi zaposlenosti su stalni dio, svi koji rade u profesiji u isto vrijeme. Dijeljenje toka u dio proizvodi broj koji se čita kao stopa zapošljavanja i nije jedan. Gdje držimo stalni broj nositelja vjerodajnica objavljujemo udio zaposlenosti; ovdje nemamo jedan, pa objavljujemo tok i zaustavljamo.
Šta je uključeno u broju: Everyone who passed the NCLEX-RN for US licensure during 2025 — first-time and repeat, US-educated and internationally educated. 328,443 people sat it and 226,946 passed, a 69.1% pass rate. A candidate can pass only once, so this is close to a count of nurses becoming licensable in that year. It excludes candidates sitting the exam for Canadian registration, whom NCSBN reports separately, and it is not a count of anyone holding a licence today.
NCSBN also publishes a count of active RN LICENCES — 6,062,790 as at 24 July 2026 — and we deliberately do not use it. That is licences, not nurses: a nurse holding single-state licences in four states appears four times, and NCSBN publishes no de-duplicated figure. Dividing employment into it would produce a share of about 56% that understates how many licensed nurses are working, so we publish the exam flow instead and no percentage at all.

Šta se dogodilo sa ljudima koji su završili trening?
Četiri godine nakon završetka, iz federalnih evidencija
Od 177,214 ljudi koji su završili Registered nursing, bachelor's degree i više nisu studirali četiri godine kasnije, 4,421 nije imao nikakvih zarada u evidenciji. 2.5%. Oni koji su radili, zaradili su prosjek od $88,910, sa srednjom polovinom između $67,853 i $114,470.
"Nema zarade na evidenciji" nije "nezaposlen". Mjera je nepostojanje bilo kakvih evidencija o plaćama i bilo kakvih pozitivnih prihoda od samozapošljavanja za cijelu godinu. Niko nije bio pitan da li žele raditi, tako da se u broju nalaze ljudi koji su napustili radnu snagu po izboru - odgajanje djece, briga o njima, putovanja, život na nečijem drugom prihodu, preseljenje u inostranstvo - zajedno sa svima koji su željeli posao i nisu ga imali. Niko ne objavljuje taj podjela i mi nećemo nagađati. Ono što se utvrđuje je koliko ljudi je završilo ovu obuku i nije zarađivalo ništa od nje ili bilo čega drugog četiri godine kasnije, što je upravo ono što vam gornji broj plaća ne može reći.
Šta taj programski kod pokriva: CIP 51.38 is registered nursing, together with nursing administration, nursing research and clinical nursing specialisms. At associate and bachelor's level it is almost entirely pre-licensure programmes leading to the NCLEX-RN, so the figure can fairly be read as being about becoming a registered nurse. At master's level and above it also carries nurse practitioners, nurse anaesthetists, nurse midwives, nurse educators and nursing administrators, which are different jobs with different pay.
This is the four-year bachelor's route. The two-year associate route is a separate federal row and comes out at 3.0% not working, against 2.5% here — the cheaper route does slightly worse on this measure, and both are among the best outcomes published.
Ko je u kohortama: 1990. godine, 10% studenata je završilo univerzitete, a 10% je završilo univerzitete koji su primali federalnu studentsku pomoć - otprilike polovina američkih studenata, a druga polovina se ovdje ne mjeri. Ljudi koji su nastavili sa studiranjem nisu u nijednoj od kolona. Odjel isključuje institucije sa kohortama koje su premale za objavljivanje i dodaje statistički šum ostalima, tako da je ovo suma institucija dovoljno velikih da se izvještava: 825 od njih, oporavljajući se 97.1% od vlastitog nacionalnog broja ministarstva za ovaj program. Ispuštanje najmanjih izvještajnih programa pomiče stopu za 0.0 postotnih bodova.
