Need help deciding my college degree path!!

[JohnigaS]

Hello,

This is my first time using this website, but I hoping that someone would be able to provide me with a bit of useful information. I am currently a four year nursing student at Auburn University and I am beginning to wonder if a four year degree in nursing is the best path to take. I eventually want to end up with a four year degree, but I guess my question is, will it be more logical to go ahead and get the associate degree, start working as a nurse, and go to school part-time until I get my bachelors, or just go ahead and get the four year degree and be done with it. It has been a really tough decision for me and I think a different opinion would be helpful.

if you go to a community college for a two year degree, it will probably take almost the same amount of time as a four year degree after you count the time for pre-reqs. i was thinking about going for my associates, but my bachelors is only going to end up taking me one more semester than the associates would have. if you have the time and resources to go for four years now, i would say go for it.
