only a few months to decide...

I just graduated in may from high school and i am going into nursing, however i am undecided if i want to get an associates or bachelors in nursing. i know that the salary is pretty much the same. My senior year of high school i attended college full time (post secondary) i took a lot of core classes for the nursing program (Anatomy I & II, statistics, multiple soc and psych classes, all my english). My gps is a 3.8. i thought i had it all planned out. i was going to go to a 4 year program (it would only take me three years to get a bsn). they changed the program up and now i have to take a Hesi a2 test which i am freaking out about it because if i do not do well then i may not get into the program, hence i would waste money and time! and then another one to get out of the program! i am not well with those kinds of tests, but im sure i would pass if i studied. im a little nervous about all these important tests! here are my reasons for wanting to do both...and cons

assosicates

pros:

close to home i could stay at home (save money)

a lot cheaper!!!

my boyfriend of three years will be here (he is in his final year of a bachelors for engineering)

my little brother is my world and i would miss him!

cons:

all my friends are going away

i can't stand to live in this boring town!!

bachelors:

pros:

take only three years if i get accepted

meet new people.

be away from home

could build off of an bachelors if i wanted

cons:

possibly losing my boyfriend

lots of money to pay back

i feel like i would be stressed more, i would have to find a job and get an apartment.

my future plans is i want to work 3-4 days a week, possibly only weekends, at a children's hospital, away from this town!!

can anyone see what the better choice for me would be? im freaking out! school starts in a few months i cannot decide and both sound like okay choices! thank you for any advice
