Questions about becoming an RN?

I have been considering going back to college to become a nurse. When I say going back I guess I really mean starting over b/c I did one semester of English right after high school and dropped out. Anyway, I'm not sure if I've answered any questions in my online searching or just created more LOL Here's what I'd like to know:

1. How much of the program could I do online? I have children and work full time so I'd like to do as much of the work online as I can.

2. What can a person who got their RN license via associates degree expect to earn in the TN area? I'd like to go that route and then go back and finish the BSN while I work if possible, however if someone with an ADN earned significantly less than someone with a BSN then it might be worth my while to stay at this job while I work on the BSN straight through.

3. I know that math/science/english are all requirements but what are some of the more specialized courses that nurses take?
