A 4 yr nurse is usually one who plans on going into the administrative areas of nursing. A 2 yr RN is one who generally works on the floor of a hospital, nursing home, clinic, etc. You can also go for LPN which is only 1 year, and that too is in high demand and pays very well.

As an LPN my oldest began working in a nursing home, then moved into home health and got a starting wage of $19 an hr. So if anyone really wants to go into nursing, there are many levels of training and they're ALL in high demand. My daughter has been gradually working toward her RN while she works as an LPN.

My one regret is that I never went to school to become an RN. I'd have loved to work in ER. Now my health prohibits me from wanting to work that hard. I say if you want it, and can find a way, GO FOR IT!
