I know this will vary greatly by region, but what is the average pay for an entry-level nurse (right out of school) with an Associates in Nursing versus a Bachelors in Nursing? Has anyone found that it has been difficult to find a job if you have an ADN? I'm trying to figure out the best educational path, while juggling a full-time job and small child. Thanks!

Hello, I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance and would like to make a career change into healthcare. I am also a mother of a small toddler and need to work full-time while attaining a degree that will allow me to become an RN. I'm looking for advice on the best way to do this. What are the advantages / disadvantages to getting an associates degree & obtaining an RN license, then getting a BSN later? Or would it be best to get a second bachelors in nursing right off the bat? Are there any online schools that enable you to get a second bachelors in nursing degree at your own pace, or schools that allow you to work and go to school at night? I live in the Portland, OR area. Help, please!
