That is really helpful...Here's what I'm trying to decide between... Option 1...getting my Associates Degree in Nursing and becoming an RN from the Community College. Option 2...there is a program at UT that is a 3 year program in which you become an RN your first full year--summer to summer--and then your 2nd and 3rd you start working on your Masters. It seems that they recommend that over getting another Bachelors degree. Any feedback on those ideas?
