Which class would you guys take? I'm leaning more towards the human bionutrition class and the nutrition for the healthcare professional class.

You need to look at the nursing program(s) that you are planning to apply for to see what class would fulfill their requirement. Most schools have Macro agreements that give you information about what classes they will allow you to transfer in for credit. Talk with the schools and the programs that you are interested in. You can also usually find information for each school and what they will transfer in on their website along with the prerequisite requirements for their nursing program.

What guy above said. Just take the nutrition course that is actually the pre req for nursing schools. You can find the correct class by looking at the pre reqs for different schools
