Question for Nurses - Education?

-Hi! I plan to go into nursing, but I have a couple of questions.



When you went to school for nursing, did you go through a community college and just receive your R.N.? Or did you go to a four year college and get your B.S.N.?



Which is the best route, in your opinion, to take?



Thanks!associates degree: It isn't necessarily the fastest router. You may have to to complete 1-2 years of prerequisites before entering the 2 year program. But getting your associates from a community guidelines will still cost WAY less than getting you BSN.



BSN: You may have to wait on a waiting list to get into the nursing program at the college you go to. But it definitely only will be 4 years. Though it may cost more to get your BSN you will probably get paid more(though not too much more) and there will be more room for advancement in your nursing career. and to go into some areas of nursing a BSN is required.



its all up to you.
