Get your bachelor's. Higher education means higher opportunities. You're still young enough to balance studies and life, take advantage of it while you can. Why limit your opportunity?

go ahead and get your bachelor's. Regardless that I personally believe you learn more being in the "real" working world than you do in school, a lot of jobs require a minimum of a bachelor's...even for entry level jobs. If you ever find yourself needing a job outside of the nursing field, you'll be thankful you have that piece of paper...no matter how useless it may be in reality (and believe me, it's pretty damn useless). I work in a corporate setting where pretty much everybody is doing a job that has absolutely nothing to do with what they studied for in school but the Human Resources requirements are still that they have a Bachelor's...even if you have a bachelor's in dead languages of the middle east or criminal justice...or worse - liberal arts.

Get the Bachelor's. I'm not even sure you can become an RN without one anyways.

My understanding is that an bachelors degree in nursing is much preferable to a certificate from a nursing school. If you can, go for the degree.

It is definitely worth getting a bachelor's degree in nursing b/c you will be able to further your career and earn more money.

You should get your bachelors because if you want to move on further down the road you have some thing to build upon.

More Education is always the better choice. At the very least, it will mature your mind and you will become more adult
