This is a stupid question.
In the US, a pharmacy degree has always been a five- or six-year degree which begins right after high-school. So, then, a bachelors degree, first, typically isn't necessary. In the old days, it was a typically six-year-long "Bachelor of Pharmacy" or "Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy" degree; but the accreditor of all the pharmacy schools has changed the nomenclature such that it's now called a "Doctor of Pharmacy" (PharmD) degree. It is, however, a professional, and not an academic degree, and so it's not really at the academic doctoral level. It is, in fact, four years of undergraduate, or undergraduate-plus-post-baccalaureate-level study that begins immediately after a two-year academic associates degree. So, then, it's not an academic four-year bachelors degree that one needs before entering pharmacy school; but, rather, an academic two-year associates degree... ...then, from there, one enters the four-year "PharmD" program. A full six-year "PharmD" program may be entered right out of high school; or one may get one's associates degree (or finish the freshman and sophomore years of a bachelors degree) and then enter the four-year "PharmD" program. Either way will work. Of course, some people don't like the idea of never having gotten a proper bachelors degree before getting the PharmD degree. In that case, then, yes, one goes ahead and gets one's bachelors degree... on pretty much anything, really; and then, from there, depending on the pharmacy schoool, one gets an either three- or four-year-long PharmD degree. If one is absolutely certain that one will only ever be a pharmacist in life, then not getting a bachelors can work fine. But on the off-chance that one may end-up not becoming a pharmacist (or one quits pharmacy) after all in life, one really needs a bachelors degree to even get the kind of job that, twenty five years ago, a person with only an associates degree -- or maybe even only a high school diploma -- could get. So, bottom line, I always recommend getting the bachelors, no matter what. Just take the four years to get that first; and then, after that, enter whatever PharmD program one wants to enter... ...but that's just me. The bottom line is that a person may become a pharmacist, with a "PharmD" degree, six years after graduating from high school if one wants.
In order to become a HR manager you will need to have had an education which, would have gotten you into a University. From there you could gain a bachelors degree in Human Resources. The other option would be to gain a certificate in the Human Resources field.
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.
The US tends not to have "graduate diplomas by special entry." In the US, graduate work may typically not be begun until and unless all requisite undergraduate work is completed... and that usually means a bachelors degree.And so, then, in the US, one may not, for example, typically, enter a graduate either certificate (typically 12 to 18 semester credit hours in length), or masters degree (typically 32 to 48 semester credit hours in length) program until and unless one has completed one's undergraduate bachelors degree.But you mention a "graduate diploma," and the US tends not to have such things. But the UK has, at least in the past. In the UK, though, the whole certificate, then diploma, then degree thing is very different than it is in the US. For the benefit of those in the US who read this......a bachelors degree in the UK is typically only three years long (as opposed to the US's typical four-year-long bachelors degrees). And though this is an oversimplification, the reason is because the "lower division general education" (LDGE) that is typically found in the first year to year-and-a-half of a typical four-year US bachelors degree is covered in the UK by a thing called "GCE" or "GCSE" or "A-levels" or "O-levels," which are all courses which students take during or after high school, but before college. And so by the time the student enters a bachelors program in the UK, s/he has obtained the LDGE coursework that we, in the US, put into the first of the four years of the bachelors.The UK's system is kinda' better, in some ways, though, because even though the bachelors degree in the UK is only three years long, nearly every minute of it involves courses in whatever is the degree's major. A typical US four-year bachelors includes not only the LDGE, but also general electives, in addition to courses in the major. And if the US bachelors degree holder further dilutes the coursework in the major by adding coursework in a minor, then the US bachelors degree holder ends-up with actually less coursework in the major than do bachelors degree holders in the UK. And so it's fair to say that a UK three-year bachelors degree holder might (and I stress that word, because it all just depends on a lot of factors) be more learned in whatever is the UK degree's major than is the typical US four-year bachelors degree holder learned in whatever is his/her US bachelors degree's major.In any case, a person who enters a UK bachelors program, but who leaves it after completing only one year, gets a "certificate" in whatever is the UK bachelors degree's major. And if they leave the three-year bachelors program after only two years, then they get a "diploma" in it. Only if they stay all three years do they get the full bachelors degree in whatever is the major.Much the same thing is often true in the UK about its two-year masters programs. If they leave it after only a year, they get a "diploma" in whatever is the masters degree's major; and if they stay for the entire two years, then they get the actual masters degree. There are even some three-year masters in the UK which use the same "certificate" or "diploma" or "degree" plan as the UK bachelors degrees.We, in the US, have no equivalent to any of that. In the US, we have two-year associates degrees, four-year bachelors degrees (toward which the two-year associates can count for half), and two- or three-year (sometimes longer) masters degrees (and then, after that, doctoral-level graduate degrees). We also have both pre- and post-baccalaureate certificate programs, and graduate certificate programs. That's it. No diplomas. In the US, one's "diploma" is that which s/he got from his/her high school. My having written that, though, I'm sure someone will be able to think of a US school that offers "diplomas," but, seriously, those are rare. And they don't mean the same thing as what a "diploma" means in the US, in any case.The UK does, indeed, have "special entry" provisions for some of its educational credentials that could allow a person to obtain a graduate credential without having first gotten an undergradate one; however, that sort of thing varies greatly from school to school; and the QAA (the UK's educational quality assurance agency) is stronglly discouraging it except for a few special circumstances wherein a well-known graduate credential has always, by design, and from its outset, been available to even those with no undergraduate credentials... such as Heriot-Watt University's MBA, for example, just to name one.In the US, though, getting graduate-level credit or any kind before one has fully completed one's undergraduate work (in other words, before one has completely one's bachelors degree) is just so, so, so uncommon. It would have to be a very special circumstance, indeed! Most self-respecting graduate schools wouldn't even consider it.Someone reading this may be able to think of some exceptional school somewhere that allows it.
They are good forever, but the requirements for the degree most likely have changed and you would have to complete the new requirements to get the degree.
Yes He Gotten His Own Degree. He Was a A Student.
A nurse in any hospital emergency room requires a college degree in order to receive employment. A nursing degree is required, which can be gotten with a bachelor's or associate's degree.
no you will not get pregnant
No, but you could get "cramps" if you've already gotten your period
I strongly suspect not. An Associate's degree is about one half a Bachelor's degree, and graduate degree programs virtually always require a Bachelor's level degree prior to admission. A possible exception might be an MBA program that is willing to include life experience that is arguably equivalent to the BA. This may be worth exploring, but it's possible there are no such programs.

Listen to her, get new grades, and if it has already gotten out of hands have a take and compromise.
