Hello! I'm new here!

Hello everybody! My name is Cecilia, I'm 25 and a mother to four little boys, Caleb is 6(almost 7), Lucas is 4, Landon is 3 and Easton is 1. I just started college and am taking a couple prerequisites to become an RN. I heard that ASN's and BSN's get paid the same amount in Omaha and it takes less time for an ASN. I'm just wondering what the difference is. I know they take the same classes because they all take the same NCFLEX(?). I would like to get my degree as soon as possible because I have all these kids but I'm just wondering what the better route is. I would love to work in the NICU, but having a ASN, would I be able to? Isn't the NICU more of a specialty? Like I said, I just want to know the difference and I'm hoping for alittle help. Thanks!
