    Since you have a degree, look for an accelerated BSRN program–cuts out a lot of the pre-reqs. Or just stick with an associates’ RN since you have a higher degree. That you can do at a community college.

    With all that college how about a nurse practioner? It seems you are going backwards. Maybe a CRNA? They pay better.

    Look for an accelerated BSN program in your area. Be sure that you have the following courses completed prior to beginning the program:
    General biology with lab (2 semesters)
    General chemistry with organic and lab (2 semesters)
    Anatomy and Physiology with lab (2 semesters)
    A statistics course
    Intro Sociology
    General Psychology
    Developmental Psychology (Across the lifespan)

    If you’ve got a master’s degree certainly go for the RN. You could find an accelerated bachelors degree program and get through in 14-18 months. It also depends on how long ago you got your masters degree which will determine if you have to repeat any classes.
