A bachelor's in CS could be useful. But an associate's is not going to be worth the same as a bachelor's, especially when you already have a bachelor's.You misunderstand. An associates was never an option. It either Bachelors of one of the above, or disregard all my credits and shoot for a Masters. In typing this, I decided I cant disregard all those credits I took already, so I have decided that isn't an option for me anymore.
SO we are at which Bachelors basically. I am heavily leaning toward NASM with CIS concentration and Cert vs BACS. Why? Because it is more readily obtainable and my interests are more CIS than CS

Think forward.... Nursing and Computer Science, CS, can be mixed well down the road.
Health informatics, data analysis, research etc in the healthcare world will need some health knowledge and some CS knowledge. If you have a degree in each a lot of opportunities can be open for you if you know where to look.
Finish nursing and if you have 1) money 2) time-> finish the BACS in my opinion.
If BACS means Bachelor of Arts in Community studies or Bachelor of Arts Commercial studies or BALS:
Do the BSN and go directly to the master. They can be more difficult to apply together so focus on progressing to a master.
BACS=Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science. Sigh, you are right. The CIS cert is def more within reach, but the CS is more valuable.
Thanks for the advice!
