ASN (Associate of Science in Nursing) or BS in Gerontology?

[Powerpuffcutie24]

Well I'm still debating whether or not to attend a public university or private college but if I attend the private college (I'm leaning more towards this one) should I get into the nursing program? They DON'T have a regular BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) degree program. I've always wanted to be SOMETHING in the medical field at first it was a Psych. (But I found out the job outlook in my state was super low) then a nurse and now I want to become a Physician Assistant. You have to have a baccalaureate-level degree to get into the program at the private college. Should I go for 4 years to obtain a Bachelor's in Gerontology then move on to the Master's of Science in Physician Assistant studies or get my ASN (associate of science in Nursing), become an RN for one year maybe 2 (prerequisite to get into BSN program), and then go back for my BSN and MSPA (Physician Assistant degree)? I know this is confusing because I'm super confused! I was thinking it would be better to do it all at once but I'm scared that I won't find a job with just a BS in Gerontology. IF you know what the job outlook is for a BS in Gerontolgy you can let me know as well. HELP PLEASE!

Well, the problem with getting a BS in gerontology is that you can't take the exam to get your nursing license. What you can do is get your Associates in Nursing and then go on to your Bachelor's in Nursing.

What do you want to do because I'm confused reading your post...DO you want to be a nurse or a PA?
