To become a nurse, you can either pursue an Associate's Degree in Nursing (ASN) which takes two years, or a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing (BSN) which takes four years. The BSN usually leads to higher pay. You can start by getting an ASN, begin working, and then upgrade to a BSN either part-time or full-time.
If you struggle with subjects like math, English, or chemistry, you might need to take some extra classes before starting your college-level courses. It's advisable to earn your degree from an accredited university instead of a technical school. This will give you the option to further your nursing education in the future if you wish. You may also consider earning your ASN at a local community college and then transferring to a four-year university to save on tuition costs. In all cases, your best source of definitive details will best be provided by the one of the advisors at your intended college/university.

Medical school typically takes four years to complete. After that, doctors often pursue additional years of residency training in a specific medical specialty. The total duration can vary based on the chosen specialty and any additional fellowship training.
