thanks to everyone who responded! I'm still a little confused about what to do but I will make a decision within the next couple of days. In reply to puresass' post. I initially came to college not knowing for sure whether or not I'd want to do nursing, and when I finally came to the decision I found out that my college doesn't offering nursing as a major. I'm already halfway done and I still want to keep my options open as to whether or not I will go to nursing school which is why I want to major in something non-nursing related. Also, languages is another passion of mine but isn't as easy to find a career as nursing, so I wanted to have a back-up. Both careers I would gladly do. I suppose my main concern is if it really matters as to what you major in when nursing schools go through the applications. I mean, would they prefer that i take more classes that are science related?

Hi everyone! I am currently an undergrad finishing up my prerequisites to get into an accelerated nursing program but i'm having HUGE problems choosing a major. I've heard that your major doesn't matter when it comes to applying, as long as you fulfill the prerequisites. But is that really true? Science is not my strongest area, so I was thinking of balancing the requirements with something I enjoy such as majoring in Japanese (I know, very very un-nursing related). But my parents and my sister do not support my decision which is really slowing down my decision to major in anything at all. My biggest concern is that if I choose to take a break right after college or if unfortunately I don't get into nursing school right away, when I take a break, I'll have a hard time finding a job if I major in Japanese. And of course, there is the concern that nursing schools may not prefer someone who graduated with that major. To sum things up, I'm just really confused right now and sooooo stressed out because I have to declare a major SOON. I'm just really not looking forward to focusing only on science. If I choose a science major, because I am starting it late, I won't even have time to take classes that I'll enjoy and that'll give me a break away from the science-related stress. Does anyone have any advice? Btw, I've read many of the posts here and I just wanna say thank you to everyone who has posted very insightful information!
