CNA to RN

[clep3705]

Having a CNA doesn't shorten the amount of work it takes to become an RN. Your clinical experiences won't count toward RN educational requirements. I know of one BSN program that required applicants to have a CNA, but they stopped that silliness. (Okay, some pedantic person might be able to cite an associate degree program where having a CNA is required, but you still have to do all of the RN work everybody does.) How do you expect to apply Straighterline to an associate's or bachelor's degree in nursing? Most nursing programs won't recognize credit from Straighterline.

You would like to become a PA or NP? They are different. They have almost completely different prerequisites.

Accelerated BSN programs are a terrible idea. The list Sanantone provided is out of date. It's a smaller list now. Accelerated programs have proven to be abysmal failures with attrition rates of around 50%.
