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.

Meseci treninga, polni delovni čas, traja več časa.
Meseci premije za plačilo, ki so potrebni za pokritje teh stroškov. Ne meseci, dokler ne napredujete na splošno – čas usposabljanja je prvi.

Kakšna je ta cena in kaj ni
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 to drži in koliko dela na terenu
Koliko zaslužijo to leto
226,946 people who passed the NCLEX-RN licensing exam for US licensure — 2025, calendar year 2025.
Tega ne bomo spremenili v odstotek. To je letni tok – ljudje, ki so zaslužili uverljivost v enem letu. Številke zaposlovanja so stalna zaloga, vsi, ki delajo na delovnem mestu naenkrat. Razdelitev toka v zalogo ustvarja število, ki se bere kot stopnja zaposlitve in ni ena. Kadar imamo stalno število zasluženih lastnikov, objavimo zaposleni delež; tukaj ga nimamo, zato objavimo tok in ustavimo.
Kaj to pomeni?: 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.

Kaj se je zgodilo z ljudmi, ki so končali usposabljanje?
Štiri leta po zaključku, iz zvezne evidence.
od 177,214 osebe, ki so končali Registered nursing, bachelor's degree in niso več študiral štiri leta kasneje, 4,421 ni imel nobenih zaslužkov v zapisniku, sploh ni imel; 2.5%. Tisti, ki so delali, so si zaslužili mediano $88,910, z srednjo polovico med $67,853 in $114,470.
‚Nobena zaslužek v zapisniku‘ ni ‚nezaposlena‘. Ukrep je odsotnost kakršne koli pozitivne plače in pozitivnega dohodka od samozaposlenosti za celo leto. Nihče ni bil vprašan, ali želijo delati, zato je grof zadržal ljudi, ki so izbirno zapustili delovno silo – vzgajanje otrok, skrbenje, potovanje, življenje na dohodek nekoga drugega, selitev v tujino – poleg vseh, ki so hoteli službo in niso imeli nobenega. Nihče ne objavlja razdeljenega dela, ki ga ne bomo ugajali. Ugotovlja, koliko ljudi je to usposabljanje končalo in niso zaslužili ničesar od tega ali od česar koli drugega štiri leta naprej, kar vam ne more povedati natančno tisto, kar vam je zgoraj navedeno.
Kaj zajema ta koda programa: 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.
Kdo je v kohorti: Dopolnilci, ki so prejeli zvezno študentsko pomoč – približno polovica študentov iz ZDA, in druga polovica pa niso izmerjeni tukaj. Ljudje, ki so nadaljevali študij, niso v nobenem stolpcu. Oddelek zavira institucije z premajhnimi kohorti, da bi objavili in dodajali statistični hrup drugim, tako da je to vsota nad institucijami dovolj velika, da poročajo: 825 od njih, okrevanje 97.1% nacionalnim računom ministrstva za ta program. Odpoved najmanjših programov poročanja premika stopnjo za 0.0 odstotne točke.
