I don't want to have to take organic chemistry.

Hi everyone! I am really struggling to make a very important decision and so I have turned here for some insight. I am going in to my 4th year of college this fall. I was originally a Biology major intending to become a Physicians Assisnt but ended up having a realization that getting into PA school would be much harder than I thought and nursing might be what I really want to do anyways. Because this decision has come so late into my college career, I have two options. My first option would be to switch my major to nursing, be a part time student (the way the program is set up it is impossible to be full time since I have completed my core and allied requirements), and graduate in May 2020 (3 years after my original graduation year). OR I could get a degree in liberal arts and do a post Bac nursing program. Of course the post Bac is very appealing because it will save a lot of time and probably because of that save me a lot of money, however I understand accelerated programs tend to be very jam packed with classes and information and difficult to handle. I am wondering just how difficult an 12 month or 24 month post Bac program would be. Would it be worth the stress and the possibility of not doing as well as I would in a more stretched out 4 year BSN program? My fear is that if the post Bac ends up being too difficult then I will be stuck with a liberal arts degree that I have no desire of doing anything with.
