Whitney’s Answer

Hi Ashley!

If your main goal is to become a registered nurse, you would need to get a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, so your major would be nursing. This is a program you have to apply for, but admission requirements vary by school. Getting a biology degree wouldn't benefit you if you wanted to be a nurse, but could lead you to med school to become a doctor.

Rachel’s Answer

I would not plan to major in biology if your ultimate goal is to become a nurse. If you have already majored in Bio, then of course, you can go back and take the required nursing classes to obtain a bachelor's in nursing.

A Victoria’s Answer

Having a biology degree could be very helpful, but will not replace your nursing courses, of course. Some of the undergrad requirements will be the same, too, so you could do a double major in Biology and Nursing. Good luck!

If you are interested in Nursing, you might consider becoming a CNA, then you can work closely with them and earn money at the same time, to get a feel for what it might really be like.
