bachelor degree it will help you in a long run cause even if you dont like nursing your classes will more then likely fall into other majors and most jobs look at the education.
Lets put it like this...who would you hire someone with an associates,bachelor or a three year.?

If you want to have any chance of advancing beyond nurse duties, you need a bachelor's degree.
Before you sign up for the nurse corps, ask the recruiter if there are any advantages either way.

Bachelors degree,then shoot for your masters. A bs degree gets you a job with more pay at once,the ad is good but not like the bs.For teaching it's the masters degree.

Go to a 2 year school. Get your Associate degree. Take NCLEX-RN. Get a job.
Then go back to school and take credits towards your bachelor degree. You may want to get a Master's degree later. Good luck!

If money is your goal then by all means go for the quickest route, but the most common path (at least for those who I know) is to get a Bachelor's.

B.A. will probably pay the most but with the shortage check around you may be able to get the quick associates and then let your job pay for the bachelors.

My mother has a BS in nursing and specializes in cardiac care - she makes about 150K a year. But it took her 15 years to get to that point and a near perfect score on her board exam.
