Do you want to be a nurse or no? If not, do NOT get a BSN. I think you underestimate how much of the suck it's going to be.
Why do you want a MS in Biology?
I agree. I would recommend looking into a Medical Laboratory Scientist program instead if the goal is a Biology masters. Most of the certificate programs are ~1 year, require bachelor's degree + 16 credit hours each in Biology and chemistry (prereq requirements may vary), and a relatively low GPA. Tuition is reasonable especially the hospital programs (extremely reasonable). Entry MLS pay seems to be around $30 an hour.
