rn/bsn/pa

so im a current high school senior and im thinking of where to apply. problem is not all the colleges i want to go to offer rn/pa. so i have a question first off. from CHICAGO as well.

1]whats the difference between an RN&a BSN?
2] can i enter college going staright for NP?
3]is there a pay diff. between RN&BSN?
4] How many years of college would I have to go through to become an RN&BSN&NP&PA???

any suggestions of where to go to for college? i want a college where there are many major choices just in case i dont like the RN/BSN/PA courses. thanks i look forward to getting some advice& knowledge.
a RN can have an associates degree or a BSN..the difference is the degree, obviously the schooling is longer for BSN..there is no pay difference. You can not go straight to NP..you need to get a BSN in nursing then go for your NP which is a Master's degee.This is with pre-req's completed:Associates in Nursing-2 yearsBachelors in Nursing-3 yearsNP- you need your BSN which is 3 years plus 2 years for MastersPA- you need a Bachelors degree in science or any bachelors not sure--then the PA program is 2 years.

Many physician assistant programs require significant health care experience, in addition to grades.

Quote from arabianeyez83a RN can have an associates degree or a BSN..the difference is the degree, obviously the schooling is longer for BSN..there is no pay difference.

Oh ok I didn't know that, i work in detroit, mi..we all get the same pay..ofcourse a RN with a BSN has more opportunities.
