Hello. I am a senior in high school right now planning to go to a four-year university. I have always wanted to major in nursing, but recently decided i also want to major in buisness. I KNOW I KNOW. Tough right? Should I double major or should i get my degree in nursing THEN after that get my degree in buisness?
My main question for you is why are you interested in getting a business degree as well as a nursing degree? With nursing you will have little trouble finding a job after you graduate, and the business degree will not help you secure an RN job anywhere. If you’re interested in working in the administration side of hospital work, most jobs require an MSN, and the business degree would look nice, but wouldn’t be helpful. It’d likely delay your graduation, and require you to pay more money for college when you could be working with either a business degree or a nursing degree.
I don’t necessarily see how beneficial for double majoring would be. It’s incredibly difficult to double major with nursing due to the course load, and I don’t see how it’s worth the hassle to do both, or go back for a second degree when you could use that money for a master’s program.
