Just some advice about BSN and beyond

If there is no traditional 4-years BSN program, you can always study in local community college to finish the first two years to complete the BSN prerequisite. Before transfer to a BSN program. check their NCLEX pass rate, ask the program’s staff about their attrition rate. Study hard, get good GPA, get some internship during the summer between junior and senior (many prestigious hospitals, even local hospital offer nursing extern, like nurse techish job). If your program is in a large research university, no harm to apply an RA in your nursing school, always helpful for the future. Then what?job? Nursing market is saturated? Not really, the hospital where I worked before offers ICU position for new grad every year. Always, shine in the unit where you do your rotation, get good communication with everyone in the unit.

Now what? you have work experience, good GPA, maybe RA experience, you can do whatever you want

Travel nurse, for sure
Nurse practitioner, piece of cake
Phd, as long as you have some RA,not hard
CRNA, piece of cake

“Nurse practitioner - piece of cake” ???
