I am a sophomore at University and I have just been taking the basics.
I have come to a cross road where I had to choose my major.
My dream plan is to do Bachelors in Biology then go into medical school.
I was told you need a bachelors in whatever and then you can go into medical school.
Biology major sounds nice but what if something life changing happens and I wont be able to pursue that anymore, so my thoughts immediately went to nursing. Nursing will provide for me if need be and have opportunities for growth.
Yea its a back up plan some people may look at it as you where not committed, but it is a smart move.
I love it I was a CNA for about a year, I loved the nurses I worked with and what they did. But in my heart I want to be a physician.
And I know I can be. So, to not waste time I wanted to double major, I want to do pre med and nursing, save time multi task and get it done.
So when I mentioned this to my adviser she didn't know what to say to me, so I went to the Registrar office and the girls there where like," You really want to do this?". Uh yea. "Well you can't double dip classes", meaning if I take Chem 2301 for nursing I cant use that same class for Chem 2301 in pre med.
I thought you could take the classes since a lot of them are the same between nursing and pre-med and then just take the ones you need on the side.
And this is a concern since in Texas your only allotted an amount of hours and you can go past 130 hrs so if you double major they have to give you more hours to complete your course right?
So can you double major in nursing and pre med? Has anyone done it or researched it?
Have a bachelors in nursing then go for medical school, or how the hell does it work.
