I'm not 100% sure, and I'm in the process of trying to decide which path to take also. I spoke with a nursing program counselor this week at my local community college, and she said that I could get my associate in applied science at their school, and then do the last 2 years of nursing at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. I could become a LPN at Coastal Carolina Community College, or get my Associate Registered Nursing Degree there So, from what she told me I would think an Associate in Applied Science would be a good starting point for you. If you know what college you want to attend for your BSN you could just try to get all of your English, Psychology, Science, and Math online. I'm considering applying for the Fall 2016 LPN program, because I have a part-time job with our family business (that I don't want to quit) and a 2 year old lol. If I take Anatomy and Physiology this year, and renew my CPR card, I will only have 4 classes of nursing to be able to get my license. And then hopefully bridge to RN and BSN. Good luck with your studies! I hope you post your final decision on the forum.
