I know it will be alot of repeated info, but I dont mind since I will learn it better and it will be as fast as getting an RN-BSN. But, I am wondering, will they accept me if I already have an ADN? I have checked into several programs that wont, but I was wondering if there was a program out there that would...

What???

You can do a RN-BSN program with a previous Bachelors degree. Who told you no? The ABSN probably won't take you as you are already a RN.

With your BA...you would qualify for a MSN program as well.

That seems strange to me. If the RN-BSN program won't take you I would skip the aBSN and go straight to a RN-MSN. It will be cheaper than a aBSN and take the same amount of time.

Is there a reason why you don't just go for the MSN? It seems like such a waste!
