These are some great questions that you have asked today. I am so thrilled that you are doing these certificates in nursing care and that you want to pursue a degree in nursing. The things that I would recommend are the following things:
1. learn all that you can about these two different degrees in nursing and what they will do for your career.
2. Ask the hospitals in your area what they prefer you to have as a newly graduated nurse.
3. Ask the employers that you are looking at whether or not you should get one degree or the other.
4. Ask yourself that question to about what and how long you want to be in nursing school?
I wish you the very best.
