What are the odds of being accepted into MSMC's ADN program with no prerequisites under my belt? Have CNA experience but that's about it.

I don't know about MSMC, however, I don't think nursing schools in general would consider anyone that hasnt completed any of their pre-reqs because that's partially how they decide if you're qualified to enter into a program. They base admission on your pre-req grades along with other factors.
I considered that, too. I know MSMC has a pre-nursing option that allows you to take your prereqs with them, though. Was wondering if anyone has gotten in with zero completed.
Again, I doubt it. Nursing is really competitive and many people don't get in even if they've completed all their pre-reqs.

A prereq is short for prerequisite which means required. Prereqs are required classes before getting into the program otherwise it would be called a coreq. So no, it is not possible to get into the program without completing prereqs.
