Master's degree programs for RNs with a bachelor's degree generally take 1-3 years to complete, depending on the school and the specialty. Graduates with a non-nursing bachelor's degree have the option of enrolling in a BSN-to-master's degree fast-track program.
The requirements for a RN license can be completion of a 2 year associate degree in nursing, or completeion of 4 years in a BSN program. Either degree will allow you to take the nurse board examination. In the past hospitals required the nurse to work in ICU for 1 year prior to working in ER.
