accelerated bachelors vs. AA degree

Hi All,

So I already have a bachelors degree in another field, and am applying to all sorts of nursing programs. The one question that I still don't quite know the answer to is this-- What is the difference between getting a 2nd bachelors degree i nursing vs. getting an A.A. at a community college? I've asked a few nurses, and they told me that getting my AA at a community college is equivalent to someone with a nursing bachelors degree. Please help!

Thanks

There isn't a wait to get in an ADN program around here if your grades are good enough but in most cases it is just as quick to get your BSN which is prefferable. Definitely make sure you get a decent amount of clinical time though. I'm not sure if its the program or the quality of students but lately we've seen more than a couple 2nd degree students that graduated and didn't even know how to measure or give an injection. Good luck.
