You did not at all waste my time! The thing is that there is a difference because i was speaking earlier about an AA degree but in my college they offer an AS degree in nursing. (72 credits) equals to mayb about 3 yrs. so im just confused really in going for my bsn 4+ yrs or jst doing the AS and become an RN after... what would you recommend?

thank you guys so much! I know the difference in terms of course, but maybe i named it wrong. Theres a difference between an AA degree and an AS degree. I applied to BC for my AA degree working under a dual-enrollment program where i am under the eyes of FIU. meaning after i do my english, psy, phi, bio ect. classes (60 credits) i am able to transfer to FIU and pursue my bachelors. but i was reading that the only difference between an AS degree and BSN is that with a BSN you have the opportunity to work management. but the pay as an RN is the same whether you studied 2 yrs or 4. is this tru or not? if that was the case then i would rather just do an AS degree and get it over with in 2yrs than waiting 4+ what do you guys recommend i do?

Hey, I am a little confused with how the AA degree works. I am going to be attending Broward College South Campus this August. I plan to finish with my Nursing AA in 2 years. My question is... when I graduate BC am I eligible to work in a hospital already as a nurse? Will i be ready to take my board exam? I plan to transfer my credits to FIU so i would be doing a RN-BSN program correct? Im just confused about graduating in 2 years as an RN or in 4 years as an RN... any info would help!

Hey! i just became a member on here (: So, I start Broward College in August and I have decided to study Nursing. Here's the thing though, I have absolutely no idea what to expect. I want to eventually become a neonatal nurse. I went to a vocational high school but I studied Financial Services. (im 18) I could of been a Nursing Assistant right now. So anyways, I realized that I wasn't going to do numbers all days and I love babies and well the medical field is great. I've read on here that BC is somewhat hard in nursing... which kinda scares me since I have no background in medicine at all. I wanted to hear from you all how your first years in college were? I graduate BC being an RN but how long does it exactly take? I'm in a dual degree program. Meaning that when I finish BC I am going to transfer to FIU for my BSN. Which leads to my next question, when I go study for my BSN am I going to be specializing in neonatal care or will I take more general nursing courses covering every aspect of the hospital? Thank you so much!! :redbeathe
