As long as their accredited, the info is pretty much the same. I did a BSN, which you should do, most places are hiring only BSNs. Also if u have you’re bachelors, if you decide nursing isn’t for you( which happens a lot) you have a health related 4 yr degree you can fall back on. Looking back, the most important thing is where and how much you’ll be doing your clinical rotations. Look for places that expose you to level 1 trauma ctrs and teaching hospitals, with high acuity and are busy to get the exposure. Unfortunately BSN programs focus on theory and writing papers as opposed to more practical hands on experience like an AA. I came out of school being able to write a 30 pg paper about nursing theory, but how no idea about actually using skills and how to chart. If possible, I’d start with an AA, get your hands on skills that AA programs focus on, then work while finishing a quick BSN program. You have to take all your pre-req required science classes anyways -so you’ll be able to earn money, get skills, and come out on top.
