Nursing degree questions?

girly girl asked:

I am currently a senior in high school and I plan to attend Penn State in the fall to become an RN. I have been talking to my guidance counselors and I am a little confused. From what they told me I can get an associates in nursing in 2 years and be considered an RN, and then re-enroll to get my Bachelors degree. The part I am confused about is when I go back for my Bachelors degree is it just an additional 2 years, or is it another 4 years?

Thanks so much to anyone who helps!!

    It would be an additional two years. There are special programs for RNs with an associates to get the BSN. Go for it–you’ll be working that much quicker. Oh, a 2 year program is more than 2 years though–pre-reqs in most cases; usually a waiting list; get those co-reqs out of the way ASAP also.

    It would be an additional two years, or some schools have accelerated programs that may take just a year and half.

    If you want you want your bachelor’s degree, I would recommend going to a four-year college and getting it right off the bat. No use in re-enrolling to complete it later on!
