The Top 5 Advanced Nursing Certificates

The multi-layered pathway of nursing education includes the addition of nurse certifications. The state certification that you have been assigned and the college level you have attended will determine the basic nurse's certification. Typically, LVN and LPN (Licensed Vocational Nursing or Licensed Practical nurse) programs are two-year degrees. RNs can earn either an Associates (BSNRN) or a Bachelor's degree.
