    If you truly want to become a nurse, you need to go to nursing school. You can do an accelerated BSRN program if available (basically your pre-regs in general ed give you credit and you just do the core nursing classes). However, you may need to take some more pre-reqs depending on the status of your classes that you have taken already. Another option is just to apply to a BSRN program & transfer you completed classes to knock out the pre-reqs. Contact a nursing school in your area & make an appointment for an eval. Take copies of your transcripts to discuss your options. You can not do the basic RN online, there are clinical hands-on things that can’t be taught online.
