Which best describes the sequence of acquiring a nursing registration?
Gelneren [198K]

Answer

Hi,

The first step to become a registered nurse is to successfully complete an accredited nurse program in the category of diploma, associate degree or a bachelor’s degree. The second step is to sit and pass the NCLEX-RN exam with a mark of over 70%. This should be followed by obtaining a state license that varies from state to state. Fourth, a person should be employed and start practicing as a registered nurse. Lastly it is advisable that after obtaining the registration, a nurse should pursue additional training and education.

Best wishes!
