Moving Forward in Nursing Education

I currently have a Master's Degree in nutrition. As an undergraduate, I took most of the prerequsites courses nursing students take. I plan on getting an ASN because it will be cheaper. I have seen on the forum that there is less likely chance for advancement with an ADN. With the Master's and Bachelors Degree in nutrition, will it be necessary for me to get a BSN?
