As you decide between becoming an VN or RN, consider your immediate financial needs and how long you want to train before working. Our VN day program can be completed in about a year. RN programs can take up to four years to complete. If your ultimate goal is to be an RN, but you can’t afford to be out of work for as long as it takes to earn the license, there are RN programs that are designed specifically for working VN’s, so that you could work and earn money while you’re attaining your RN license.
