RN stands for registered nurse, and you can become an RN with a program that leads to licensure in your state. In most cases, the minimum requirement is an associate degree.

BSN means Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and there are some BSN programs that lead to licensure.* However, many BSN degrees are designed to provide professional development and career advancement for current RNs.
