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.
Ing tengah-tengahé ana wangun tengah, kang diarani tengah tengah.
Taun-taun latihan, full time. Part time luwih dawa.
Taun-taun bayaran prémium perlu kanggo nutupi biaya iku. Ora wulan nganti sampeyan ana ing ngarep total - wektu latihan ing ndhuwur teka pisanan.

Apa kang dadi angka biaya, lan apa kang ora
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.

Apa ana kang entuk iki saben taun
226,946 people who passed the NCLEX-RN licensing exam for US licensure — 2025, calendar year 2025.
Ing taun iki, angkané wis tekan 100%. Iki ya iku aliran taunan - wong kang nampa kredensial ing siji taun. Angka- angka kerja iku saham kang tetep, saben wong kang kerja ing profesi ing wektu kang padha. Nggawa aliran dadi saham ngasilaké angka kang maca kaya tingkat pagawean lan ora siji. Nalika kita ngandhut jumlah sing tetep saka pamegang kredensial kita nerbitaké saham sing digawé; ing kene kita ora duwe siji, mula kita nerbitaké aliran lan ndhaptar.
Apa kang kalebu ing pangukuran: 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.

Apa kang kelakon marang wong-wong kang wis rampung latihan
4 taun sadurungé, saka Federal records
Saka 177,214 wong kang rampung Registered nursing, bachelor's degree lan ora sinau maneh4taun sawisé, 4,421 ora duwe penghasilan ing rekaman — 2.5%. Ing jaman biyèn, wong-wong padha nglampahi upacara-upacara adat. $88,910, karo setengah tengah antarané $67,853 lan $114,470.
Ing basa Inggris, "non-profit" tegesé "non-pendapatan". Kados ta:
Apa kang diwaca ing kode program: 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.
Siapa ing kohort: Completors kang nampa federal siswa bantuan - kira-kira setengah saka AS undergraduates, lan setengah liyane ora diukur ing kene. Wong kang pindhah menyang sinau luwih iku ing ora ing kolom. Departemen suppresses institusi karo cohorts banget cilik kanggo publikasi lan nambahake statistik noise kanggo sisa, supaya iki asumsi liwat institusi cukup gedhe kanggo laporan: 825 saka wong-wong mau, pulih 97.1% ing angka nasional Departemen piyambak kanggé program punika. Nglempar program laporan paling cilik nglebur laju kanthi 0.0 % 1 poin
