Can't get a job as new RN

I am confused; how does one get a BSN degree with no healthcare experience (it was quoted in another post as "no healthcare experience" only management or something to that effect). You have to work as an RN to get your clinical credits for BSN? Right? I must be missing something--you have to have the clinical hours in whether your get paid or not. I would think you would have gosh, a year and a half to two years it takes to complete a BSN, worth of experience working as RN to receive those BSN credits? Or they just considered it as having no healthcare experience?
