If you are interested in becoming a nurse or furthering your nursing career, you have several options for places and ways to study. Here is a list of some of your options: Vocational school or adult education programs. If you're interested in becoming a nurse's aide or an LPN/LVN (licensed vocational or practical nurse), you can attend a one-year vocational school or a program at an adult education center. These options for nurses are usually quick, flexible, and cost-effective.

-Junior or community college. If you choose to become an RN with an associate's degree, you can attend a junior college or a community college to complete your coursework. Usually, your RN training will be finished in about two years.
