Requirements to Become an RN in Michigan

The first step to becoming an RN in Michigan (and other states) is to get the proper training and education. This typically involves earning an associate degree in nursing (ADN), but you can also pursue a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) degree. After graduating from your chosen program, the next step is to apply for and pass the two-part NCLEX-RN licensing exam.

If you pass both the written and clinical portions of the NCLEX-RN exam, you can apply for an RN license from the Michigan State Board of Nursing.
