Will I get what I need?

Hello! I am a pre-nursing student. I am almost through with all of the requirements for consideration in admission to a Technical College. The admissions committee will select their students to complete a 2 year program with an Associate's Degree in Nursing. What I want to know is if I am selected and complete the training, will I come out of there ready to jump right into a well paying position? Are there certifications that still need to be completed, for example: Do I still need to become I.V. certified? Will I be able to be a nurse in a specialized area like labor and delivery or surgical nursing? Is there a significant difference in salary between a B.S.N. or Nurse with an Associate's Degree. What can a B.S.N. do that I would not be able to do? If you have any answers to my questions I sure would appreciate it. Thank you!!!
