what the difference between those programs and getting a BSN (bachelors of science in nursing)?

CNA is a Certified Nursing Assistant. You do the grunt work and you are not a nurse

LPN is a Licensed Practical Nurse. Education for this takes very little time, but you're not paid as well, and you'll most likely work in a nursing home.

ASN or ADN: This is an RN (Registered nurse) with an associate's degree. It takes 2-3 years to complete. You make good money when you are finished and you have direct patient care in hospital and doctor's office settings.

BSN: This is an RN with a bachelor's degree. With this degree, you can get into more advanced nursing and go into management.
