So nursing and pre - med are different cause one is on the nursing track and the other belongs to the pre - med track. However both are pre health so I just believed nursing fit me better.

Difficulty & workloadPositive

Nursing has challenging courses and requires extensive time management in order to balance long back-to-back clinical rotations and simulation lab days. The content requires a lot of critical thinking and memorization. However, every day is an opportunity to learn something new, which makes life exciting and gives me fulfillment, especially when it comes to patient care/improving the healthcare experience for patients.

Neuroscience is a lot more quantitative and about the research presented in the field. While nursing is based more on patient care, and dealing directly with your demographic holistically. However, both majors require the main core science prerequisites allowing for students to think critically about the phemeneon that are fundamental in the study of the brain and in the assessment of the body.
