Well if you know that you want to go ahead and get your bachelors in nursing there is no need to obtain your associates because you will still go through the same program and classes. It would just basically be an extension of classes from your associates. So If you want a bachelors in nursing, enroll in the bachelors nursing program, not the associates.

Do you have to be a registered nurse first before pursuing a Bachelors in Nursing 'BSN'?
No, many individuals prefer to seek a Bachelors of Science in Nursing (BSN) from the very beginning of their undergraduate work. Others may have a need to enter the work force as quickly as possible and so choose to acquire an associates degree first. However, if one chooses to complete the Associates in Nursing first, four year institutions do have ladder programs from associates to bachelors in terms of transfer. It's a matter of choice that is particular to the individual's circumstances. Nonetheless, whether pursing an associates first or a bachelors, continuing education will be critical to ones upward mobility within the field. Viper1

What questions do you need to ask before you transfer to a four year university or college?
Answer 1: First and foremost, the four-year bachelors program must be accredited by an agency approved by the US Department of Education (USDE), and/or the USDE-sanctioned Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).Next, you'll want your entire two-year associates degree to count as the entire first two (freshman and sophomore) years of the bachelors degree; so that you may enter said bachelors program as a full junior, and complete just two more years in order to earn your bachelors. If any part of the associates won't count toward the freshman and sophomore years of the bachelors, then you may have to take a few additional lower division (freshman and sophomore level) courses to satisfy whatever are the bachelors degrees requirements which the bachelors degree program says you're missing. You'll want to be crystal clear about all that before entering the bachelors program.Beyond that, there's not too much to worry about, academically, because it's mostly the upper-division (junior and senior year) courses that matter in a bachelors program... that's where all the courses in the major (and minor, if one is declared), and the general electives, are taken; and almost nothing that you took in the associates degree manifestly affects any of that. What matters most about the associates is that it satisfies whatever are the bachelors program's requirements; and said requirements are usually related to what's called "lower division general education" (LDGE).If your associates is sufficiently well-crafted, then the bachelors program's LDGE requirement will be either entirely, or nearlly entirely satisfied by the associates degree. As long as that's the case, then the only academic questions you should have for the bachelors program will be related to your major and/or minor... neither of which have anything to do with the associates, even if the associates is in the very same thing, or something compatible with, whatever will be your bachelors degree's major.So, then, all that leaves, really, are questions about things like what life will be like on campus, in what kinds of extra-curricular activities you could become involved, what things cost, what are the rules, where and how will you live, etc., etc., etc.
Is a associates required before a bachelor degree?
No, it's not required. It is one way of doing it, or you can go to a four-year school from the outset and go straight through for your Bachelors, either way.

Bachelors in accounting but wish to get into nursing Should you get an associates or go into a masters program?
Because you already have bachelors, one option that is the shortest in terms of time, energy and expense, is an associates of science in nursing. Some credits will transfer toward your degree however if you have not completed the appropriate prerequisites particular to nursing, it will take approximately three years. If you have, it will still take about two years because of the sequential nature of the professional phase nursing courses. In other words, typically for most nursing curriculum's you will have to complete the following (if you have not already done so). * Human anatomy and physiology I * Human anatomy and physiology II * Microbiology * Chemistry (inorganic, organic and biochemistry) * English composition * General psychology * Child psychology * Sociology * Humanities electives In addition there is pharmacology. Some schools include this within the first professional phase nursing course, while others as a stand alone course. I understand you have completed at least some of the above within your bachelors degree. What you do not have, you will have to complete. I would strongly recommend you complete all of the above before attempting to enter the professional phase courses because of the intensity of the program. Some schools will combine some of the above with nursing courses, which for many students proves too much and they wind up either dropping out or failing out. After the above is completed, it will still take approximately two years to complete the rest of the program with each nursing course taking one semester to complete as follows. * Nursing I (first semester) * Nursing II (second semester) * Nursing III (third semester) * Nursing IV (fourth semester) The above is just a general overview of how most nursing programs are designed. Others may vary slightly. Thus, as you can see, your heart must really be into this. All of this is possible for you; however you will have to be 100% committed.
Do you have to get your associates before taking a nursing program?

Why do you need an associate's degree?
There are a number of reasons for pursuing an associates degree. An individual does not always have to take an associates degree first before going on to a four year institution for their bachelors. In some cases the associates directly leads to a career goal, such as nursing. Other than that its not a matter of need to, but which approach is best for your personal need, wants, and desires. Still here are some reasons why students attend two year institutions. * Not able to initially meet the entrance requirements of four year institutions * Smaller more comfortable, and friendly environment * Better professor to student ratio * Smaller classroom size * Tuition and fees are less expensive * Options available for career oriented programs * Transfer opportunities * Close to home The above are just some of the reasons students opt for the two year institution before either entering the work force, or continuing on for their bachelors degree.
