Will i be able to get a job with a 2 year degree?

[Caren1221]

I'm going to school to be a nurse, currently in a 2 year program at a technical college. A friend told me that i may not be able to find a job with only a 2 year degree that i would be better to go for a 4 year. Is this true? Can anyone give me an idea of what i would need to get a job as an RN after i graduate?

Yes, a 2 year degree can get you a job--I'm living proof. There are some places that do prefer a 4 year degree though.

Though truth be told, the job market still really sucks right now and all new grads are having a difficut time getting work.
