I just graduated from an associate school and recieved my RN.  I found a 
position in the ER as a new grad without a problem.  I am currently working 
in a trauma hospital on the south side of chicago and loving it.  My back 
ground...EMT basic on a fire department and also with a private service.  On 
the AAS verses BA, there is more time spent on management classes and you 
will not have as much clinical experience.  My own personal thoughts were to 
finish up my AAS and then let the hospital pay for the rest of it.  The pay 
difference in Illinois for the two degrees is about 0.50 to $1.00 more per 
hour.  Also they are more likely to put you into a manager's position faster 
which I am less interested in right now.  I would like to handle the trauma's 
than just supervise them.  I would say go for the associates and stay working 
in the hospital where you will be able to learn, it will help you in your 
studies.

good luck
