Can a graduate of Bachelor of science in nursing can get MA certification?

Why do you want to get a job as a MA? Can you not pass the NCLEX? You should be able to apply to a job with an RN degree easily; only issue is that they might think you would not stick around and not want to hire some one that would leave right after they finished training.
