... even if you don't learn to spell, I've read nursing notes before and the spelling isn't so hot.
Yes, you can get your ASN at a community college and qualify for the RN exam. Then you can go to what is called an "RN-BSN Bridge" that applies some of your associates degree to the bachelor's degree and earn the BSN.
The time to completion of an ASN is 2 years. For the bridged BSN you can expect 2 additional years but that will include summer sessions as well or 3 years of just fall and spring.
You could also enroll directly into a BSN program from the start and skip the ASN.
Some RNs decide that the BSN isn't the best option for them and they do a BS in Health Administration instead - thereby moving from patient care to administration.
By the way -- the associates (and bacelor's or master's) is in nursing and comes from a college. RN (Registered Nurse) is the license you get from your state.
