Can i get my A.A degree and Finish Pre Req for BSN

Hie, thank you for opening this thread and taking the time to help me out on my career path in becoming a nurse.

I just have a few question that i will ist below but before that i will tell you a little bit about myself and my situation.

Im 18 and ill be starting Community college this fall(well now its a four year college) and i wanted to get a bachelor degree in chemistry or possible biochemistry. But i also want to do their BSN nursing program, i think it would be a great opportunity for me.

So i wanted to no would it be possible for me to get my A.A degree and still finish my pre req for nursing on time?

and

Is it required that i get a A.S degree and if i do will they look down on it when i tranfer to a state university when i want to complete the rest of my chemistry or biochemistry courses?

Again thank you :D

I am so glad you are so ambitious...YOu can achieve everything!! I am not sure if you have notices but there are some requirements you have to meet before applying into a nursing program so, I would check out that first and start from there if you wanna get into it. See the core requirements for each degree and choose the ones that will be compatible with both. If you know what university you want to go to look at their website for core requirement and the classes that are tranferable to their facility with out any trouble....this is very important since you don't want to loose any money and credits if you dont do this first.

I don't think anyone will look down on AS from a community college, the way I look at it, there is no difference in pay as an RN wether you have a BSN or ADN you both look at the same things...the only difference is how many student loans you have behind your name and believe me you will saving thousands of dollars by going to a community college unless you have a massive college account or a rich family.

It's all about opportunity!!! go out there and make a choice...sorry if I jumped around too much I think it's time for me to go to bed.

Have a good night.
