thanks! The Associate's degree will actually take a semester longer - another plus for NYU

I've been excepted to both NYU and Phillips Beth Isarael School of Nursing. I already have a BA in a non-nursing field. I could use some advice - do you think it makes sense to only spend $10,000 at Phillips Beth Israel and get an associates degree or $53,000 at NYU and get my BSN? I definitely want to continue on to get my masters. I would have to loan out NYU which is a little scary, however, I feel very lucky to have even gotten into the program at all. Will I get the better job coming from NYU with a BSN? Or does it not make a difference where I go to school? Thanks

what about somebody who has a BA degree and an associates degree in nursing? Does that equal a BSN in an employers eyes? I am in this situation now and I am having a hard time deciding whether I should get the BSN or just get my associates degree. Since I have a Bachelors degree, i will be able to go straight into a masters degree with an associates in nursing. I am just wondering what makes more sense. do I need the BSN? Any advice would be much appreciated!
