How many different types of nursing degrees are there?
1 year of LPN or practical nursing school at a community college. Make way less than an RN. It’s been so long since I worked I don’t know the pay. 2 year RN or registered nurse is 2 years at a Jr. College. Make great RN pay. 3 year RN—very few of these schools left. 4 year RN with a BS degree from a college. at some places the RN with a degree makes a little more. At the places my husband and I worked pay was based on experience, not years of college. I was 2 year, he was 4 year and we made the same money. I’d go to 2 year, but actually I greatly do not recommend nursing. Ask a nurse you know to jot down what she does in one work day. You won’t want to do it. Too little staff, too much assigned to you. Getting scratched, bitten and hit. Charting the same comment in several different places. Not to mention—wiping butts. Yes RN’s wipe butts, clean vomit up, and put tubes down peoples nose to their stomach.
