[quote=Anonymous]What kind of nursing? The distinctions are between the license type not academic degree. Bachelors or associate degree are both fine to prepare you for the NCLEX, national exam to be licensed as an RN. You may have a few more new grad choices if you get a bachelors but not a huge thing. If you want advanced practice (NP, CNM etc)you’ll need a masters or doctorate, depends on the specialty. For RN level nursing where you go doesn’t matter at all, you just want a good NCLEX pass rate. For advanced practice, depending on what you want to do, prestige may factor a little bit. To further confuse you there a bunch of “direct entry to advanced practice” programs available to people who have a bachelors in something else, you just do all nursing reqs ( classes and hours) and then need to pass NCLEX before moving into advanced practice. Hope that helps![/quote]
