Linda - Can you read this and offer any other insight, Would be so thankful to you.
He is graduating with an AAS next week end from the cc in general studies. He is also dual enrolled at the univ. as a psych major right now. So all his electives are done and his gpa for it all was/is at least a 3.7. So he will spend another 2 years at the cc just for the RN degree and then have t transfer somewhere for the BSN. Really effectively he has lost 2 years of study, but what can you do.
I told him I will support him no matter what he decides. Also there are 3 RN to BSN bridge programs around here. One at the state univ. which I just read online that a girl with 10 years as an RN did not even get into. This will require the essay, references etc. again and then 2. Private catholic college where he was already accepted and then 3. Private catholic college where oldest ds graduated from. I am sure it will be $$$.
So effectively its gonna take him at least 6 years to get something that should take 4.
I'm sorry, I didn't realize he was finished with general classes.
I would NOT favor getting a second associate's degree. No way, no how. His days of CC are over! (And a strong congratulations to him, btw, on a job well done!)
He needs a BSN and should move forward with that IMO if he wishes to be a nurse.
I would also not favor getting a psych degree, then doing a bridge to BSN, either.
I would find a BSN program that he could get into. I know you all can do it. Keep looking!
Just thought of a story to tell you. Someone I've worked with had his heart set on going to one of the top nursing programs in the country. We had some good light hearted disagreements about that many times, my feeling being what does it matter where you go, etc. But it was his dream. He had another degree already and worked as an aide with us. He applied and many of us wrote letters of recommendation for him, thinking he'd surely get in with all of his qualifications and recommendations from staff at a top hospital. Well guess what? He didn't get in. And he was devastated. I even asked him if he was ready to go somewhere else and he said No, he still wanted to go there. So he shlepped another year with us and thankfully, this year, he got in and will be going in the fall. Now this wouldn't have been the way I would do it or that I'd recommend my children do it, but it worked for him. But my point is to persevere regardless. My sister was a professional student and she had a way of getting into whatever school she wanted. She taught me to just keep at it and do a good job at whatever else you're doing and eventually things will work out in your favor. I had to do it myself when I went to a popular nursing program. I'd transferred in and it was a bit of a cluster, but I just enrolled in the classes I needed and low and behold, right before the year started, they accepted me into the program. Thankfully I'd stuck it out. So I think he can do it but he'll have to just stick it out and it may take a little while. He can PM me if he wants if I can help with anything.
. You all must be so proud of her.
and then we are off for a great day of baseball! 
I dont think I will be buying the ds much of anything. I am sure they will understand. Maybe I will be nice and get them a mickey rice crispy and some mickey gummies.
