Nursing is usually a separate curriculum. Nurses who earn a degree receive a BSN, Bachelors of Science in Nursing.

Some nurses get only an RN degree which requires less time than a BSN. However, many with only an RN later finish their education with a BSN.

Yes, nursing is considered a science major. Nursing integrates a variety of scientific principles and knowledge from fields such as biology, anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and microbiology. It involves the understanding and application of scientific concepts to provide optimal patient care. Nursing students learn about evidence-based practice, research methods, and the scientific basis for nursing interventions. Furthermore, they study human health, disease processes, and healthcare systems, which all have a scientific foundation. Overall, nursing combines scientific knowledge with practical skills to promote health and well-being among individuals, families, and communities.
