Question by Rachel Kate: What are the different levels of nursing? Can someone please explain them?
I am finishing my BS in Biology with a minor in Gerontology. I have been looking at going into nursing school, but I do not understand all the different types of nurses (RN, ASN, BSN, MSN, etc). How long does each degree take – and if I wanted to work in the ER, or in ICU… would I have to be a certain one?

Thanks!!

Answer by mtwaites
The BSN program is a 4 year, very intensive program. This program will teach you different blocks of information, and then you will need to go into the hospital environment to practice what you have learned during that block of information until eventually you have gotten to the end of it, and then you will be required to do a prectorship where you will be able to practice doing the stuff that you have learned to do. If you successfully pass this, then you’re able to sit and write the RN licencing test.

ASN is the associates which is 2 years, but it is not the full nursing program. This would allow you to do something like the Licenced Practical Nurse, Certified Nursing Assistant or the Registered Nursing Assistant, but in order to be an RN, you would need to get the BSN program, which is listed as above.

The MSN level is the masters of nursing, and this will allow you to do something like a nursing coordinator, supervisor, clinical supervisor etc.. You will need to have this level to do any sort of coordinator, supervisor etc.

I hope that this helps you a little bit more.

Question by Powerpuff [thinks ur cute]: Associate of Science in Nursing or Bachelor’s in Gerontology?
Well I’m still debating whether or not to attend a public university or private college but if I attend the private college (I’m leaning more towards this one) should I get into the nursing program? They DON’T have a regular BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) degree program. I’ve always wanted to be SOMETHING in the medical field at first it was a Psych. (But I found out the job outlook in my state was super low) then a nurse and now I want to become a Physician Assistant. You have to have a baccalaureate-level degree to get into the program at the private college. Should I go for 4 years to obtain a Bachelor’s in Gerontology then move on to the Master’s of Science in Physician Assistant studies or get my ASN (associate of science in Nursing), become an RN for one year maybe 2 (prerequisite to get into BSN program), and then go back for my BSN and MSPA (Physician Assistant degree)? I know this is confusing because I’m super confused! I was thinking it would be better to do it all at once but I’m scared that I won’t find a job with just a BS in Gerontology. HELP PLEASE!

General career info: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search ‘registered nurses’, ‘physician assistants’ or such.

If really wanting to go into nursing, my instincts would say to go for the associate’s in nursing so that perhaps one can make some money and possibly get tuition reimbursement from the facility that one is employed. If nursing tasks are really of no interest but instead PA tasks, obtaining a bachelor’s in gerontology may be more conducive to your interests and goals. One must have a passion for what they do each day and week for so many months or years I would talk with the student advisor that offers both programs at a school to guide in one’s decision.

Please steer clear of those online, for-profit schools such as penn foster, capella, strayer, kaplan, devry, keiser, walden and others as they are merely out to ‘make a profit’: http://www.capellauniversitysucks.us
