I am doing the

To get your R.N. in most states it takes 3 years, 1 year for the L.P.N. which is a prerequisite then another 2 years for the A.A. which is all an R.N. has. 

I am going the B.S.N. route, and with my prior MT school and A.A. it is still going to take me 3 years to do it.  I found my prerequisites transferred, but there are other courses that are nursing courses that have to be taken in sequence so it didn't matter much to cut down on time, just means I have some terms with a heavy class load and some terms with only 2 classes. 

I absolutely love nursing school - I want to be a F.N.P with a midwife certification.  Most places the pay isn't any different than I make as an MT, some places less (MT gets me 50K+), but I will be actually out with real people to interact with doing something I love, helping people.
