There are still hospitals hiring ASN grads! Make sure you pass the boards your first try (it's public record and hiring managers do check that out) and have a resume full off community service and professor recommendation letters if you haven't had any bedside patient care experience as a PCT and can't get a referral from a Nurse manager. Network during clinicals too! I'm in your same boat and am hoping to get hired as an RN while I'm working towards my bachelors. I've spoken with my floor manager, our director of nursing and many other reputable sources and these are some of their recommendations. It's possible! Work hard and keep your focus strong. Hope this helps !!!

Most MSN programs require a BSN for admission. And being an 'exercise and sports science' NP is not a specialty area I've ever heard of.

The closest specialty to this is physical rehabilitation; however, it is not as sexy as exercise and sports science. As a rehabilitation NP, you'll be seeing patients who require recovery from disability after having suffered CVAs, MIs, motor vehicle collisions, spinal cord injuries, and so forth.
