"nursing (rn)" or "nursing" as major on penn state app?

Applying to College
1

<p>I might sound extremely naive right now, but there are two separate majors listed for nursing on the Penn State undergraduate app. There is "Nursing (RNs only)" and just regular "Nursing". I'm not really sure of the difference between the two and can't find much info on the internet. I figured I'd ask here before I made an idiot out of myself asking the college directly. </p>

<p>Can any of you explain the difference between the majors?</p>

<p>Nursing (RN) is for people who already have RNs and are doing an accelerated RN-to-BSN program. Unless you already have an RN, you want to go with the regular nursing degree.</p>

<p>thank you so much. I almost put the wrong one on my application</p>
