In term of the professional phase coursework there really is not much difference, if any. The Bachelor's of science in nursing (BSN) is a higher level degree. It provides a more well rounded education, advanced courses particular to health science, and can be more beneficial when attempting to secure positions in the field as well as promotions to management positions.
Yes you can, and many do. The higher the degree the more opportunities that will be available to you. Still, the associates is a great place to start, and a relatively shorter path to an RN. With the right employment as an RN, many organizations will help finance your pursuit of a Bachelors in Nursing (BSN).Yes you can, and many do.

No, if you have your BSN you are considered first for jobs, make more money starting off, and move up faster than if you only have your A.S. degree
You need a BSN to help deliver babies. An RN with an Associates Degree won't let you, but a Bachelors degree (BSN) will.
There may be quite a few differences between RN and LPN classes. There can be different methods of patient care to learn, you may be taught different nursing theories, nursing science, pharmacology, and general practice. The more experience you have and earn, the easier it gets to become an RN. RN's need to complete an associates or bachelors in nursing before being able to practice as an RN.
Mary William RN MBA. Typically, the bachelors degree is not indicated.
Associates Degree
You can have: a vocational or 1 year degree to become an LPN (licensed practical nurse) a 2 year ADN (associates degree-nursing) to become an RN a 4 year bachelors BSN in nursing.
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.
Sometimes, sometimes not. RN - in this sense - means one thing, registered nurse. ADN means associates degree in nursing (typically an RN). You can be an RN graduating from a diploma program, associates degree (ADN), or a bachelor's degree (BSN). In any event, all are an RN, just at from different educational levels.
It takes a least two years to get your associates in nursing
Usually an RN would make more money working in a hospital. That is not always the case. It depends on the hospital and the clinic. The difference in salary wouldn't be significant
The higher the degree the more marketable you will be. However, there are Associate of Science degrees as an RN (2 years) offered by community colleges, with a ladder program to a Bachelors Degree in nursing (BSN) should you choose to do so at a later date. There may still be some hospital schools of nursing that may offer a diploma program in nursing, but I would not entertain that thought if I were you. Stay with the degree concept whether it be the Associates or Bachelors degree. Viper1
