Becoming an RN

[jackiespatrick]

I am thinking about getting an associate of science degree in nursing, and then taking the certification test to become an RN. Is it ok to get a 2 yr degree in nursing vs a 4 yr degree? Will I be able to get a job as a nurse if I only go to a community college? Is becoming an RN the best route to go in nursing?

Thanks for the help :)

Good thinking.

"Is it ok to get a 2 yr degree in nursing vs a 4 yr degree?"

Yeah, it's ok.

"Will I be able to get a job as a nurse if I only go to a community college?"

I dunno. I dunno if you can get a job if you get a BSN, MSN, or MSNBC. Getting a job has so much more involved than just the degree you get.

"Is becoming an RN the best route to go in nursing?"

It's certainly a pretty good one. The best depends on you.
