Ok new here obviously, gathering info on how to start this nursing journey... found out (from this board) that I can go through a hospital that has a nursing program or go the two year college route. I'm looking to go the ADN route and then later if needed/wanted/desired go the BSN route. My question is/are: 1) What is the difference between the two? 2) How do I find out if a hospital offers such a thing, I just looked online at the three major hospitals in Atlanta and I don't see anything, I guess I should call and ask HR? 3) I was also reading about level 1-4 clinicals once you start working - can someone elaborate what that is and how beneficial it is to your career? I'm assuming it's a good thing to have to advance yourself. Thanks! I love this board! KMW

I looked into this for the state of GA and CA and the pay was very low, the top pay around $12 an hour in CA. Some plastic surgeons would hire nurses to do chemical peels but what RN would take such a low pay cut? They wouldn't let the aesthetic nurses do the chemical peels or laser surgeries because of insurance issues. (spoke to several dermatologists and cosmetic derms too)
