Hi, I am really a big fan of this forum, I learn alot from this site, eventhough i'm not a nurse yet. Thank you.
I'm planning taking nurse as my major, but I thought i only want to get associate degree and go work, I have 2 kids, I don't have time to study any longer. I just want to finish it and go work. My question is what the diff. between 2 yrs and 4 yrs degree in nurse, do you know? do they pay diff out there? do they train diff in school?
Most places are only hiring BSNs now. So I highly suggest you go for a BSN, unless you want to work at a nursing home.
Untrue(at least when I've job hunted.) I have an ADN and have been offered every hospital job I've interviewed for(in different states across the country from each other,) have worked in 2, and there is no pay diff for BSNs in either of them. The main difference is if you want to be management, you need a BSN. I've also been given no threat or deadline on getting a BSN.
Check about dual enrollment with a two year and four year school. If available, go to the two year to save money, then move on to finish at the four year. Worse case, start off AD, get a job, and go part time for BSN.
