They work with patients one-on-one, day-in and day-out, providing hands-on care to those in need of care. If you are looking to become a Registered Nurse, you may already know how rewarding this career path can be. But how do you get there? The first step: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/nursing\/\">nursing school<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Registered Nurses today must be licensed to practice. In order to sit for the Licensure Examination (called the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/glossary\/nclex-exam-in-ct\">NCLEX-RN<\/a>), aspiring nurses must complete a college education. There are a few educational paths you can choose from today. To become a Registered Nurse, you can earn:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN),<\/li>\n<li>An Associate degree in Nursing (ADN), or<\/li>\n<li>A diploma from an approved nursing program<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some aspiring nurses choose to earn their ADN to start, and later pursue an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/rn-to-bsn\/\">RN-to-BSN degree<\/a>, helping them get into the nursing field fast. There is also an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/accelerated-bsn\/\">accelerated BSN<\/a> pathway for those who already have their bachelor\u2019s degree in <em>a different major<\/em>. Finally, there\u2019s the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/msn\/\">Master\u2019s of Science in Nursing (MSN)<\/a> for those who desire an even more advanced career in a nursing specialty, such as Midwifery.<\/p>\n<p>No matter which path you choose to take to become a nurse, you\u2019ll need to sit for and pass that NCLEX-RN examination. Because nurses are in such high-demand <strong>now<\/strong>, many aspiring RNs opt to take an ADN program first. This allows them to take their core college nursing courses, become licensed, and start working in the field.<\/p>\n<p>The NCLEX-RN examination covers a range of nursing topics, such as safety, patient care, health promotion, management of care, and more. To prepare for this exam (and to be eligible to sit for this exam), you\u2019ll need to take certain college courses in nursing.<\/p>\n<p>Below are some of the most essential, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/nursing\/as-degree-curriculum\">associate-level nursing courses<\/a> you\u2019ll want to check off your list before becoming a Registered Nurse.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Anatomy and Physiology II.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This course teaches students how to examine the structure and function of the human body, with a focus on the anatomy and physiology of the following systems:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sensory<\/li>\n<li>Endocrine<\/li>\n<li>Cardiovascular<\/li>\n<li>Respiratory<\/li>\n<li>Immune<\/li>\n<li>Lymphatic<\/li>\n<li>Gastrointestinal<\/li>\n<li>Renal<\/li>\n<li>Reproductive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Microbiology<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This classic nursing course explores the role of microorganisms in disease and health.
