I might go for Nutritional science first..

I'm having a hard time finding a nursing program here, so I might just go for Nutritional science first then do nursing. I was told taking Nutritional science will help me toward nursing since I will be taking almost all science courses. You think I should do this?

I posted here 'cause I don't know where to post this. I actually want to become a holistic nurse practitioner in the future, so I am not sure if taking Nutritional science will help me with that. I just don't want to waste money and time, that's wy I ask. ^^;; I'm into Nutrition , it is actually my first choice.

Why waste time with nursing school if you want to be a nutritionist, dietician, cafeteria manager, or whoever? Conversely, if you want to be a nurse don't waste time and money (it generally comes in limited supplies) on nutrition classes. If you're just wanting something to do to kill time before nursing school get a job. If you already have one then get a second one. If you just want to "learn" then take personally fulfilling classes which for me would be things like zoology, botany, ecology, geology, etc.

I am one of those who 'wasted'my money on nutrition and nursing. I now have a private practice where provide nutritional consultations and have my regular nursing job. My RN credentials attracts more clients, especially since my specialty is OB.

Two sources of income doesn't appear to be a waste.
