New golfers have tendency to only hit their sand wedge, but that should not be the case. Play around with bunker shots on the range to figure out different irons to play out of a trap.

Can you use a 54 degree wedge out of the sand? Yes, any wedge that has a higher degree of bounce can work very well from the same. The downside of choosing a 54 degree is that a 54 degree wedge is often spec'd with a lower degree of bounce. A wedge with a lower degree of bounce with be more likely to dig into the sand, rather than "splash" it and the ball out. This is why many 56 degree sand wedges will have anywhere from 10-14 degrees of bounce, making it easier to get the ball up any out of the sand.
