WARNING!!!
When choosing a college or university, make sure the institution has a regional accreditation. With a regional accreditation you can be assured the coursework and degree you complete will be recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers. Below I have listed the six accrediting agencies and their geographical areas of responsibility. I am disclosing the below so you do not become a victim of educational scams, and institutions that are nothing more than diploma mills, where they are eager to take your money for a degree that is worthless. Make sure the institution is accredited by one of following responsible agencies.

Nursing certification is what you receive after you earn your nursing degree. You go to school for your degree and then train in a specific field for your certification.
You do not need an associates degree to get a bachelors, one is just more extensive than the other. If I were you, I would go straight for the bachelors.
If you obtained an associate degree in nursing, the bachelor's degree in nursing (BSN) would take two additional years as a full-time student provided you take the program as prescribed by the college or university.
You need to take classes for about 3 to 4 Years for a bachelors degree. Some of the schools require you to go the college itself and some of them let you do it all online.
It would be preferable to get work experience first. Because you already have an existing bachelor's degree and wish to stay in the nursing field, you could look into becoming a nurse practitioner which would require a master's degree in nursing. Lastly, you already have a bachelor's degree so pursuing another bachelors degree would make no sense in this case.
There are actually two different options. You can attend a 2 year college and receive an Associate Degree in Nursing Or you can attend a 4 year college and receive a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. The difference in the end can be the pay. Also the RN's with BSN are more likely to have a managerial or leadership position in a Health Care Setting.
You must obtain a BSN - Bachelors of Science in Nursing.
Well an associates degree is a two year degree while a bachelors is four. Not all major will transfer from an associates to a bachelors. For example you can get an associates in nursing and go on later to get your bachelors and it only be about two more years. But if you have an associates in nursing and you want a bachelors in business. You will pretty much have to start over and most likely only your prerequisites will count toward your new degree.
Depends on the school. Most require Bachelors degrees, however, there are some schools that will admit students with AA or AS degrees
The best place to go for a bachelors degree is Algonquin college for the best bet
No. You would have to go to a University and Get a bachelors degree
Usually a bachelors degree is a four year program.
