The pay and opportunity will be greater with a bachelors degree in nursing, since you would be an RN rather than a LPN.
^^ YOU ARE NOT AN LPN IF YOU GET YOUR ASSOCIATES RN DEGREE!! you are still an RN, the only difference being that an associated RN went to school for two years and a BSRN went to school for 4. All the nursing classes are the same, you still learn the same material and you still take the exact same exam (NCLEX). You just don't take all the general education requirements that are required at a 4 year college.

How long do it take to get bachelor's degreee in nursing if you have a AA degreee?
Answer 1: An associates degree -- be it an "Associate of Arts" (AA) or an "Associate of Science" (AS) -- is 60 semester credit hours. A bachelors degree, regardless of kind, is typically exactly twice that: 120 semester credit hours.The "lower division general education" (LDGE) coursework of both an associates degree, and a bachelors degree, are identical; and so, then, either all or nearly all of any associates degree may be counted as the first two years -- the first half, or the freshmand and sophomore years) -- of any bachelors degree. So, then, in other words, a person with a two-year associates degree, who transfers same into a four-year bachelors degre, will only have to do that last two (junior and senior) years of said bachelors degree.After that, s/he will be able to put both an associates and a bachelors degree on his/her resume, even though it took him/her the same four years to earn both degrees as if s/he had just gotten a four-year bachelors degree.The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree is a four-year, 120 semester credit hour (or sometimes it's 128 semester credit hours, at some schools; but for our purposes, here, let's just go with 120 semestee credit hour) bachelors degree; and so a 60 semester credit hour associates degree -- regardless whether it's an AA or AS degree -- should count as most or all of the BSN's first two (freshman and sophomore) years, leaving only the BSN's last two (junior and senior) years to be completed.But the operative word, there, was "should." An AA degree is an arts degree, and an AS degree is a sciences degree. Arts degrees always have less math and science in them than do AS degrees; and a BSN contains lots of math and science. So, then, it's less likely that an AA would count as the entire first two years of a BSN than it would be that an AS would so count. Therefore, a person transfering an AA into a BSN program will quite likely need to take a couple or three summer sessions of additional math and science courses in order to get caught-up. Therefore, an AA degree holder who transfer his/her AA into a BSN might end-up going to school for a semester or so (or at least a summer or so) longer than an AS degree holder who did the same thing.But, in any case, an associates degree -- regardless whether an AA or AS -- should count as aroung half of the BSN......at least in most states. Some states require that the BSN be a bit longer than a normal bachelors degree. In such states, the AA or AS would likely still count toward most or all of the freshmand and sophomore years, but the student may then need to take not only the BSN's normal junior and senior years, but also however much additional coursework the state requires in order to earn a BSN.Remember that nursing is a regulated (by the state) profession, requiring a license. The state, therefore, gets to decide what kind of education it wants its nurses to have before it will issue them a license. In some states a BSN is a certain number of semester credit hours in length, and in other states it's a bit more. It all just depends on the state.There are also states -- and I'd sure never want to be in the hospital in any of them -- that will allow persons with only two-year associates degrees to become a "registered nurse" (RN). In most states, people with associates degrees may only become such as a "Licensed Practical Nurse" (LPN), or a "Licensed Vocational Nurse" (LVN), but not an RN. In most states, one must have not only a four-year bachelors degree, but, specifically a "Bachelor of Science in Nursing" (BSN) degree in order to become an RN. Avoid, if you wish to follow my advice, getting sick and being in the hospital in any state where a person with only an associates degree may become an RN! But now I digress. Sorry.So, bottom line, a person with a two-year AA degree should be able to transfer same into a four-year BSN degree, and then do around two more years of study, give or take, in order to earn said BSN degree. But, seriously, it can vary from state to state; so please contact the nursing board (or whatever state entity issues nursing licenses) in the state in which you plan on being a nurse, and learn precisely what are the educational requirements.Know, also, that some state nursing boards won't accept a BSN from just anywhere. Some states actually specify from which schools their nursing license applicants must have graduated in order to be acceptable. So, again, always consult the website of the state entity which issues nursing licenses in the state in which you'd like to be a nurse so that you may see exactly what are the educational requirements in order to become the kind of nurse you'd like to become. Whatever the state says, and not what anyone in a place like this tells you, is the correct answer to your question.
