RN to BSN Online programs

I have a question. I have been an Associates degree RN for 2 years and I am shopping around for an online RN-BSN school. I was going to do WGU at first but found out that they are competency based, therefore they are pass/fail and do not award any GPA points, as a matter of fact, "passing" to WGU is a B, which awards 3.0 GPA points, which could essentially lower your GPA if yours is good (mine is 3.8 so this could lower me). If I were to be done with school, then this wouldn't bother me, but I am considering CRNA school at a later date.

So my questions are:

Does anyone know of an online RN-BSN program that is not pass/fail and awards GPA points?

Has anyone completed WGU's program who had a decent GPA beforehand and did passing WGU lower it?

Do you know if CRNA schools will accept an online BSN degree?

Do you know if you want to join the military later as an officer, will they accept an online degree? (original associates degree is through a brick and mortar school).

This is a lot of questions and a lot of things to consider! Most of these questions are nearly impossible to find online and would requiring calling all these different schools to find out more info, and looking into CRNA schools and seeing what their requirements are, and contacting a recruiter to see what their requirements are (have done this already, recruiters don't know this information!).

Thanks in advance
