Bachelor of Science in Nursing
Advancing your degree is the best way to get ahead in your nursing career. Whether you want to specialize in pediatrics, trauma, or community health, getting your degree will give you the knowledge and experience you need to reach your goals. You will be qualified for better jobs, have more experience, and make networking contacts necessary for a successful nursing career.
A Bachelor of Science in Nursing prepares students for a rewarding and challenging career as a nurse. While studying for your BSN, you will take classes in anatomy, physiology, and advanced patient care. The clinical experience will equip you for working in a variety of nursing settings, from hospitals to schools. Many employers prefer nurses who hold BSN degrees because their advanced knowledge and extensive training.
One of the best things about a BSN degree is the amount of flexibility offered in the program. A traditional BSN program takes four years and can be taking on campus or online. Accelerated BSN programs take just one year of study and are perfect for individuals who already hold a Bachelor’s degree in a related subject.
RNs with Bachelor of Science in Nursing degrees can make almost $20,000 more a year than RNs with Associate Degrees in Nursing.

The school i am going to attend (UC DAVIS) currently do not have a nursing school running but will by fall of next year, but the problem is next year they only have the master of science in nursing but not bachelors.

I am going for the gusto. I am going to go straight for my bsn. Hopefully I should be done within 2 and a half years of starting since I have many of my prereqs finished already.
