I’m going to shoot for my carer and not waste my time on anything else less important like becoming a LVN or CNA . My choice is to go to community college and earn my ADN to become a RN, I then want to find a RN-BSN bridge, and soon after that BSN-MSN . I know I don’t need a MSN to be a RN but I’m 19 this year and I do know through out my medical career I will want to be something else as I grow older .
My questions are:
If I held a ADN what difference would it be in Pay & Salary compared to holding a BSN?
Is it easy to get a job as a RN in the ER or is it competitive to get in aside from being a RN in any other facility?
As a RN with an ADN, what facility one can work in that makes higher pay?
Once I have my MSN, what choices do I have to branch out to other than becoming a Nurse Practitioner?
Please answer my questions, I’ll give you the points if you can answer them appropriately for me please !! 
1. It depends on the job. Since you’re asking about ER and hospital jobs doing direct patient care, I can tell you that BSNs will only make a minimal amount more than ADNs in a direct patient care role. My hospital pays $1 per hour more for the BSNs who work in the same capacity and have the same years of work experience. The difference comes into play in that BSNs are more likely to move into other positions like supervisory / management / administrative roles, and those are usually higher paying, sometimes by tens of thousands of dollars per year.
2. Totally depends on where you live and what facility you’re trying to get into. Some are willing to hire new grads, others prefer you have at least a year of nursing experience.
3. In general, usually hospitals pay better than out-patient clinics and nursing homes and home health. But there are disadvantages, like working more weekends and possibly rotating shifts and more holidays (although holiday pay is good), etc. Just keep in mind, within in a hospital, all RN jobs are usually paid the same amount. ER doesn’t make more than L&D or OR or med/surg, for example. Pay differences are based on years of experience.
4. First of all, in 2015, new NPs will be required to have a Doctorate of Nursing Practice, not just a MSN. A DNP is another 2-3 years on top of an MSN. But with an MSN, you can still become a Clinical Nurse Specialist, Nurse Educator, Leadership / Management, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, Public Health Nursing.
