Cost of school depends on the school itself. State schools are cheaper than private ones, and naturally a 4-year degree will cost more than a 2-year.
As far as salary goes, a nurse with a 4-year degree doesn't make hardly any more than a nurse with a 2-year degree (when working in a regular staff nurse position). My hospital pays only $1 per hour more for a BSN. But, if you have a BSN, you are more likely to be able to hold supervisory or management positions. It's not impossible for a 2-year RN to get promoted to management, but it's unlikely in a hospital setting - maybe a nursing home or home health agency.

Nursing isn't a profession to go into for the money, even though it has gotten to where you can make good money as a nurse. You have to really want to do that type of work to succeed in the field.
A four year program would be a college degree, so the cost would depend on the school you went to. Costs vary widely from school to school.
