Why would you be getting a MSN or DNP prior to finding and enrolling in a NNP program?

I see that the OP has asked this question already with some decent feedback. I will echo the previous advice- take things one step at a time. One post you claim to have just gotten your GED. Why don't you take a few classes at a university or community college to get your feet wet. After that, start working on nursing school. Tunnel vision may cause you to fail early in the game or miss out of experiences during school.

You have to have a msn a be accepted into a program

You do not. A NP program is either a MSN or DNP degree. Some do have what are called post-MSN certificates, in which case you need to have a MSN. Rarely (but sometimes) individuals will do a general or management MSN prior to doing a post master cert. The vast majority of programs are BSN entry to MSN and DNP level NP programs.

THIS :)

You have posed a question about the length of time to achieving your goal.. I should think that enrolling and completing an unnecessary MSN degree would take more time. Now if your ultimate end-goal may be to teach within a nursing program one day, you may wish to earn your MSN in education an then you could add a post-MSN certification in NNP.. but that would really be reverse in what you are wishing to do.. get your MSN in a program that will allow you to sit the NNP exam, then while working you could complete the post-MSN certificate for education.
