Have an interest in wellness & nutrition, which major should I choose?

I have finally come closer to a career path. While, I’ve always loved the creative arts, I decided to look into a career in the health care industry. After many years of trying to figure out a career/major I made a list of things I find an interest in learning about which gave me the following:
wellness & nutrition, mind body and spirit, preventing illness, treating illness through wellness/nutrition, holistic approach, diet, herbalist, healthy lifestyle.

my community college offers:
Registered Nurse/Licensed Practical Nurse A.A/A.A.S
Pre-Dietetics A.A
Pre-health A.A
Wellness & Health Promotion A.A.S

I am a mom who works as an admin assist home based full time it’s flexible, and was aiming for an associates, but would go for bachelors if required. I am interested in health care with out the constant bedside care etc.

I know RN/LPN offers the best variety,financial/job stability/growth and it’s not all about bedside care but that’s where most growth seems to be at and I have to admit I don’t like the idea of constant bedside care and if I did had an option to choose bedside care I’d look into women’s health care/ob-gyn/labor delivery…and even then I still worry about having some work -life balance or if it’s possible to work morning hours and still have some time for my family. (Maybe, I’ve been reading too many negative comments from nursing online)

With that being said I wanted to continue searching different options as it may lead me to specialty.
Any feedback?

I know someone who’s a registered dietician and says it has good work-life balance.

Another option I was looking into was combine my years as an admin assistant, get licensed as an RN and look into physician office nurse. It appears they mainly have day shifts and work 8hrs a day, which is something I would be interested in.

Thanks ally!

That’s actually exactly what I was mainly looking into registered dietitian/nutritionist,my issue is I read you would need at least a bachelors degree (still searching for a school in my area that offers such program) and I am trying to compare that to rn/lpn as that route is faster and has more options.
