What are some good majors that applies to nursing or pre-med in general?
I am going to be a senior in high school next year and I want to have an idea on what majors to take in college. #nursing #pre-med #registered-nurses

There is no one path to becoming a medical professional and that in a sense allows you to pretty much study whatever you find interesting. I know doctors that have studied Biology, Chemistry, or Psychology, but I have also met a doctor that majored in Spanish and one that has a degree in Dance from a premiere performing arts college. This being said, they all had to do well on their MCATs and they all had to take biology, chemistry, and physics.
I have two good friends that are nurses, one of whom has a Masters in Social Work and the other a Fine Arts undergrad.
Medical schools are inundated with applications from the brightest students from biology departments across the World. Do something that makes you happy without being a doctor and it may just set you apart from the bunch when your application lands on the desk of the admissions department at your first choice school.
These are some of the mandatory courses you must take in nursing in order to receive your BSN. There are clinicals that you must pass as well. Anatomy.
Microbiology.
Chemistry.
Nutrition.
Psychology.
Nursing practice and theory.
