The higher the degree the more marketable you will be. However, there are Associate of Science degrees as an RN (2 years) offered by community colleges, with a ladder program to a Bachelors Degree in nursing (BSN) should you choose to do so at a later date. There may still be some hospital schools of nursing that may offer a diploma program in nursing, but I would not entertain that thought if I were you. Stay with the degree concept whether it be the Associates or Bachelors degree.
