Biology vs Nursing Major

- Biology science curriculum is more diversified and intense. Nursing science curriculum is limited, and mostly focused on the technical aspect of patient care
- Biology student is best prepared to sit for the MCAT. Nursing students most likely will have to take an additional 1 year of sciences to catch up (post bachelor, or independent studying)
- Medical School is reluctance to divert nurses because of chronic shortages in patient care
- 90%+ Medical Students have Biology/Organic Chemistry as their Major
- 2 years of Biology at a CC is most likely to increase and/or decrease enthusiasm for the sciences. Can always switch to nursing program (CRNA) at 4 years college. The biology AA major is compatible for Nursing curriculum
- Biology major is dead-end, however, rejection of medical school, can lead to other lucrative majors, such as pharmacy, or back to Nursing!
- Biology Major is the spring board to the entire medical profession. Nursing is limited to Nursing
- Majoring in Nursing and not Biology, tend to show medical school a lack of desire and focus to actually pursue an MD. This can raise doubts about the student's enthusiasm for the MD profession
