Back up plan!!

So, I have some questions, if you guys could answer them please

1. How do you get an associates of science in nursing (ASN)?

2. If i've already taken all my prereqs, can i be awarded a regular associates degree?

3. Am i an RN if i have an associated of science in nursing?

4. What can i do with an associates of science in nursing?

5. How do i apply to go back to school to get my BSN if i have an ASN?

6. Are there bridge programs from ASN to MSN?

Im asking all these questions because, honestly, my GPA is ****, and I'm scared i won't get into nursing school for the Fall 2016 or Spring 2017 semesters unless i retake every science class I've taken since freshman yr of college (I'm currently a sophomore, so thats basically all of them). Im just trying to find and think about my options here. If you guys could help me, that would be amazing. Thanks y'all

    Is retaking the courses an option?

    And it sounds like to me that you really need to talk to an academic advisor. They can give you a better idea of what path you need to take to accomplish your goals.

    I'm not sure if its required. I applied to Ga State and my adviser there told me i wasn't eligible to apply for their program because my science GPA wasn't where it needed to be and that i'd have to retake all my sciences and get A's and B's in them. I don't know about the other schools I've applied to. If i don't get in, God forbid, i'm gonna call and talk to them about what i need to do. And i scheduled an appointment with my adviser to talk about my options.

    The Associate's Degree is nursing is simply a degree. Just like the Bachelor's degree is just a degree. To become a RN you must take the NCLEX-RN exam. You must though posess a degree in nursing to be eligible to take it. A degree from an accredited school. Then once you pass the NCLEX, you would be a RN.

    Do not think associate degree programs are easier to get in to. They are not. They are generally more competitive because they are offered at community colleges which are much cheaper.

    You need to speak to an academic advisor as previously suggested. They will help you to understand what you need to do to get into a program. Every program is different and has different requirements to get in.
