Thank you so much for everyone that has answered my questions... I have decided to take my CNA course this winter and then move to the city to teach and take my prereqs hopefully for not more than a year. Afterwards I will apply to the bsn and msn program. What ever one I get in to I will take. As to caren7171's question, I decided not to persue teaching because there are virtually no jobs in my field in my area. If i do want to teach I will have to move to an inner city where the burn out rate is very high and the pay is very low... not a very happy sounding situation. Has anyone gone from an associates degree RN to a MSN program? can do you that?

I am currently debating which corse of study to take. I have a batchlors in education and i know now that teaching middle school is not for me. I would like to persue a degree in nursing. I have found several schools that offer masters and batchlors degrees in nursing for students that have bachlors in related fields. Is there any benifit to getting another bachlors or should i go right for my masters? What kind of a degree do i need to become a NP? Would it bennifit me to get my CNA certification before i even apply for a nursing program? so many questions, sorry...
