how can I get an easy nursing degree?
Categories: Nursing Degrees
I am a laser tech who specializes in laser hair removal from AZ. I have just moved to California with my husband and I am not able to practice laser hair removal in this state without a nursing degree. What is the quickest, easiest way to get the very basic of nursing degrees?

You need to first find out from your state board of nursing if laser hair removal is under the scope of practice for an LPN or RN (probably an RN, is my best guess).
There are no shortcuts to becoming an RN. You can become one with a minimum of an Associate’s Degree, which is a two year sequenced program, but there are pre-requisite courses you will need before you can start, so it might take 3 years in all. Or you could go through a BSN program, which is typically 4 years. The BSN gives you more opportunities for advancement into leadership positions. If all you want to do it be a direct patient care RN to do this laser hair removal, the Assoc. Degree would probably be sufficient. You could complete the BSN later.
Becoming an RN is not easy, no matter which way you go about it. It’s hard, not because the material itself is terribly complicated (although some people struggle more than others), but the sheer volume of learning that takes place in such a short time frame is hard to manage.
Good luck.
