Thank You! what about nurse practitioner? do you also have to be a 4year bachelor's degree RN? or can it be just 2year associate degrees RN?

Hi, I am thinking about getting my 2 year associate degree's in nursing then become a RN but I wasn't sure if I want to become a BSN if i'm only going to work as RN because there aren't much differences between 2year RN and 4year (not insulting but i'm just talking in general, I believe it is still good to learn more but, I don't know if it is that worth it for 2 years of more studying if you are only going to stay as a RN). However, I was planning to take a program that goes RN to BSN to become nurse practitioner or CRNA. When I looked for some pre-requisites for those two, it says that you will need RN lisence and some of them said that you will need BSN. If I finish my 2year associate degrees in nursing and receive RN lisence, do I still need to go through the RN to BSN in order to apply programs to become CRNA or BSN? My other question is that, I see there are many ads about RN to BSN online program. but when you apply to CRNA or nurse practitioner programs, does it matter if I take any online school or go to good nursing university? My questions might sound kinda dumb but please understand and be nice. I have just changed my major and there are so many things that I do not know in common senses. Thank you so much for reading! and I'll wait for replies! :)
