Short answer, no. You can get into many nursing programs starting with high school diploma if you can pass the entrance exams. If your math & science preparation is weak, you may need to take remedial classes at a community college before applying.

Can prerequisites be taken while taking nursing courses online to finish sooner?

If the nursing courses require prerequisites, you must complete them before entering the professional phase nursing courses. There are many individuals entering the nursing field today. In comparison to the number who enter, very few actually graduate because of the intensity of the program. The prerequisite coursework is for a reason; To prepare students for the professional phase.

What is the difference between an associates in applied science in medical assisting and associates in nursing?

I would love to know this answer. Which someone would respond An associates degree refers to a completed course of study that is is less than the requirements for a baccalaureate degree (4 years of university study). Nursing is quite different from medical assisting. Nursing is a regulated profession that requires specific educational components and a licensing exam for entry to practice. Nurses work with clients of all ages and with a variety of conditions and in a variety of setting. Nursing is an autonomous profession. The nursing profession is highly relational with emphasis on the nurse client relationship. Advanced communication skills are needed. Medical assisting would be more technical and less relational. Any job that is "assisting" is not autonomous as you are taking direction from someone else.
