Well first I would suggest going to a community college to get your pre-requisite courses done but find the university you want to transfer to get your BSN first. That way you know what that college requires for you to enter their nursing program. Before entering any nursing program they require you to take classes like Chemistry, Anatomy & Physiology, Psych, Communication, English, Math etc. those take about 2 years. I suggest a community college because it's cheaper. Once you go to a University it is costly. To get into a nursing program you have to take a HESI or TEAS exam for entrance. Then once you're in the program and finish you will have to take the NCLEX to be licensed for nursing. I'm not too sure about the MSN, hopefully you can get that through the same University before taking the NCLEX but it was suggested to me to find a hospital to work for and have them pay for my MSN. It sounds iffy but your best bet would to ask as many questions as you can and research on your own.
