I was wondering what the salary difference is Im thinking of either going the diploma or degree way I don't know, is there a big pay difference and what about getting a job I live in california will it be hard to get a job with a certificate instead of a degree.

All the feedback I can get!

Thanks Alot!

There are many threads on this topic. Please do a search. Also, there is usually no difference between a diploma RN or an associate degreed RN. There is however differences between LPN and RN. Good luck. BTW - it would be a little easier on my old brain if you could use some periods at the end of the sentences. Even in re-reading your post, am slightly unsure what you are asking.

Diploma RNs are paid the same as Associate Degree RNs because they both have the same thing: an RN license. All American-educated RNs take the same NCLEX, regardless of their status as a diploma nurse, ADN, or BSN. In nursing it is the license that matters. I hope I have answered your question with adequacy, because I cannot seem to fully determine your original question.

I was a resident of California for 24 years. You'll be hired without a problem with a diploma or degree.
