Whats the difference between an RN degree and a nursing degree?

You do not get a RN (Registered Nurse) degree. To become a RN you earn an associate degree in nursing then take the state nursing exam. If you pass you are then a RN. You can also get a 4 year degree in nursing, which will make you even more marketable. Then, you would be an RN with a BSN. You still have to take the state nursing exam.

Is a BS degree higher that an RN degree?

It is important to clarify that there is no such thing as an RN "degree". The title RN (registered nurse) is actually obtained by state licensure. You become an RN after sitting for, and passing, your state's NCLEX exam. However, to be eligible to take the NCLEX exam, you have to have graduated from an accredited school of nursing. These schools of nursing offer different degrees. Depending on the school, it is possible to receive an Associate Degree in Nursing (such as can be obtained at a community college) as well as a Bachelor's, Master's or PhD in nursing (obtained at the university level). All of these degrees qualify their holders to sit for the NCLEX and receive an RN license. The only difference would be the letters that follow the nurse's name. Here are two examples... A nurse who graduated from an Associate degree program would be Ben B. Smart, ASN, RN Whereas a nurse who graduated from a Bachelor's degree program would be Susy Got Bank, BSN, RN
