| Re: Hi I am from GA Hey Jalpa, what is ASN?. Lpn is License Practical Nurse and the next step above that is RN. The program for lpn can be 12 months at a Technical School or 2 years at a college. My plan is to go with a Technical School get my license has a lpn, and finish up at a college to get my RN. While working has a LPN. What are your plans?

| Re: Hi I am from GA Hey Simone, my plan is first to finish 2 years in Associate of Science in Nursing in community college then start bachelor degree of science in nursing and i think it takes 4 years to finish BSN or RN. I guess that's not a big difference between BSN and RN. what do you think? and then I am upto start MSN... oops I am watching big big dreams. lol... But hey I like ur plans too. It will take you less time to get into RN than mine because it takes 2 years in ASN. thanks, Jalpa |

| Re: Hi I am from GA Hey Simone, It's really upto what type of job do you get after finishing BSN. Let's say once you have finished your BSN, and you are skilled in medicine/surgery, your median salary would be around $58,109. and if you are skilled in Operating Room in hospitals, your annual salary would be around $65,123. Now once your have finished your MSN, and you get a job as a Nurse Practitioner, your median salary would be around $71,857. and if you get a job as a director of Nursing, your annual salary would be around $83,536.
