They're out there and I'll probably end up doing an msn somewhere to hopefully secure a job. I had a shaky GPA with my kinesiology degree (2.6) and figured no one would accept me into a program.

No apology needed. I should've clarified lol

I've already read all that information on the naon website thanks though. And I also understood the rn-bsn path. Thanks though.

Hi everyone, First, thanks for all the replies they were very informative! Second, sorry I haven't been on here in awhile. Just as an updated, I decided to go with an ASN program for now to knock out some nursing and prerequisite courses I haven't taken (intro to tech for nursing, pharm, sociology, and intro to nursing). After I finish these courses, I'm going to try and get into an accelerated BSN program at Wright State. After that, I'll take the ONC exam for the ortho specialty and hope to land a career in the OR in an ortho unit somewhere. Thanks again everyone!

Hi everyone, I know this has probably been discussed to death on here and after I read this topic: https://allnurses.com/registered-nurses-diploma/associates-vs-bachelors-229716.html I still couldn't really get a definitive answer. I currently have a BS in kinesiology and would like to pursue nursing with a specialty in orthopedics. My plan is to get an associate in nursing and work as an RN, I'm not real clear if I would have to go back for a BSN or not. Please feel free to post other topics and links here. Again, sorry if I upset anyone!
