Hello, Geraldine, I hope you are enjoying your day and getting ready for College life and all the adventure that comes with it.
I'm not a nurse but a nursing major can be multiple things. It also depends on how far are you willing to go into that field.
Here are some resources that may be able to help you with your studies as a nursing major.

Cristina’s Answer

Hi, Geraldine, I’m so glad you asked this question! A nursing major describes a person who has been accepted to the university’s nursing school program in the College of Nursing. Once you’re accepted into the program, you’ll take higher level undergraduate courses specific to the nursing major, which meet the requirements for graduation.
Before you apply to the nursing program, you’ll be categorized as a pre-nursing major. The classes you take during this time are required for you to apply to the nursing program; they are called pre-requisite courses.
Hope this explanation helps- best wishes and good luck!
