is there a big diff. between BSN and PracNur, BasicNursing?

by ultm

hello guys. Im so new around here. I want to study nursing, pls. give me some advice. im kind of a dumb to know the diff. (if there are any big diff.) between the so called "2 year practical nursing" and the "1 year basic nursing course". this course was offered by St. augustine school of nursing ( a component of AMA group ). what are the chances/opportunities of a 2 year practical nursing course against 1 year basic nursing?? is it true that employment chances are higher when we take into account the years of study/schooling??

As I answered in your pm, neither one of those will get you a visa to work in another country. Previous schooling, if it cannot apply to your degree, does not make any difference.

Such as if you have a PhD in Math, you will be able to get a second courser degree which is two years and will get the BSN, but it will not take any other time off of your degree.

There is a big difference between the two in terms of legal responsibility, etc.
