Hi, I'm close to 30 with a BA, and Masters degree in Information Science/Library Science. I'm not satisfied with my current career (can't get full time library job over 2 years) and have been interesting in going into nursing. I've worked as an assistant hospital librarian and I've moved into a guest relations position at a hospital emergency department. I've been inspired and actually into what I'm seeing in the ED and think nursing is a better career fit for me. My question: should I go for the BSN or associates? Not to sound arrogant, but I think I've established myself as being academically oriented so is a BSN necessary in my case? I just want to be able to get a legit full time job if I get into this profession and not get screwed over like I was with my library 'career'...
