Sure, if you got out with an associates years ago and you don't live in an area that has nationally ranked nursing schools. Nurse is correct, major hospital organizations in my area want that magnet status...and it is very competitive getting jobs with them...they can be selective with candidates with BSN's and higher training.

Now, if the op wants to work in a rural hospital setting, I am sure he could get a gig (Pikeville, KY).

ETA: you can be an RN, but organizations want the extra education and training.

Nope. You can still graduate with an associates today and sit for the NCLEX. Upon passing, you are a board certified RN in whichever state you took and passed the NCLEX.
