Should I go to Cal state school or a community nursing school to become an RN?


Whats better? Whats the difference? Thanks for your answer

Cal State will earn you a BSN (4-year) degree. The CCs only award an Associates' degree.

-at a Cal state you would get a bachelor's degree and the programstakes 4yrs to finish
-at a community college you would get an associates degree and the program takes 2yrs to finish
-i got into the nursing program at a community college rather easily, all i had to do was pass all my pre-requisite courses with a C or better and apply for the program. it took me about 2yrs including summers just to finish my pre-req's but its worth it if you want to become an RN
-if all your pre-req's are complete already, apply to as many colleges as possible and who ever accepts you 1st go there
-Good Luck!
