STUCK ON DEGREES!!!

[Mz phattie]

sooo i kinda have questions about degrees and how long they are.. its been lingering in my head for the longest..and i need some guidence!!!

i've been debating whether or not to do LPN or RN first, and I've decided to do an 18month LPN program with Bronx Community. Now I was told if you do LPN, you can go for your AD-RN right after for a few semesters.

now my question is,

If i get my AD-RN and decided to go for my BSN, would that be another estimated fours years or more added to the AD-RN of studying or would it be another estimated two years or more since I already have an AD-RN?

Also, if instead i decided to do LPN only and go straight for the bsn program.. would that be an estimate of fours or more years added of studying from my LPN..

i guess im conflicted with my goals. I dont know if I wanna do LPN - BSN program or LPN- ADRN- BSN.

i wanna find my quickest way for me to be a well paid RN... and be done with school already!!

is it also true that even if you receive a BSN, the pay between AD and BSN doesnt differ much in most places?

hope im not too confusing...lol

any inputs would be helpful and greatly appreciated

I think you can only do LPN-ADN bridge. ADN-BSN bridge, or work as an LPN while getting your BSN. Pick your degree based on what you want to do long term. Since your in NY like me, the BSN is preferred unless your heading out to Long Island.
