There are many options available to you and choosing the right program will all depend on how much time you are willing to spend on your degree, what (if any) specialization you are looking at and how much you are willing to spend. Students interested in nursing in the U.S. have a huge number of nursing programs to choose from. These could range from an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) – normally a two-year program that prepares students for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) - a four-year program offered at colleges and universities around the country. There are also Masters Programs available that is required for those who want to practice in advanced specialty areas. Nurses interested in teaching nursing or becoming a researcher needs to obtain doctoral degrees. Stevens-Henager College offers all three degree programs along with accelerated options as well, so it may be worth your while to check them out at http://www.stevenshenager.edu/ . All the best!

You can start at a local community college that offer a LPN one year program. After completion, you can sit for the NCLEX-LPN (exam), then get a job as a LPN (licensed practical nurse). While earning a living as a LPN, you may be able get your hospital to pay for your RN (registered nurse) education, which is one more year of school. That, I think would be the cheapest way to go.

If you have no limitations on money, you can go to a more expensive program called "Accelerated BSN program" where you can get your BSN (bachelor of science in nursing) in one year, instead of the usual four years.
