As or aa degree & why?

[Colleen2014, RN]

HELLO EVERYONE I AM NEW TO THIS WEBSITE I READ A FEW POST HERE AND THERE BUT THIS ACTUALLY MY FIRST POST. THIS WEBSITE IS VERY INFORMATIVE SO I FIGURED WHY NOT ASK YOU GUYS. WHICH DEGREE DO YOU HAVE AND WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO GO THAT ROUTE.ME PERSONALLY I STARTED OFF DOING MY AS BUT I WAS THINKING THAT EVENTUALLY I WANT MY BACHELORS AND I WOULDNT BE ABLE TO DO IT WITHOUT MY AA, BUT ON THE OTHER HAND I WAS DOING MY AS BECAUSE I HAVE A 3YR OLD DAUGHTER AND I AM THINKING ABOUT HER WHEN I CHANGED TO THE AS B/C I CAN GET INTO THE FIELD QUICKER.SO WHAT WAS IT THAT BASED YOUR DECISION AND WHY. I AM CONSTANTLY BACK IN FORTH TO THE ADVISORS CHANGING BACK FROM THE AS TO THE AA DEGREE.NOW I HAVE IT SET ON MY AS DEGREE BUT I AM STILL REGISTERING FOR MY AA CLASSES, I GUESS IM CONFUSE.ANY ADVICE IS HELPFUL.

I'm assuming this is for non-nursing because nursing degrees can only be AS. I would go with AS instead of AA only because it gives you a chance to knock out one or two of your nursing science pre-reqs, other than that there is no difference between the two degrees.
