I have a BA in physiology, and a BSN degree in Nursing.

Your situation is so similar to mine it's not funny!

I finished the physiology degree, and then used a second degree program so I could have the bachelor's in nursing. The nursing degree was downright cheap...I also got a scholarship to help with tuition.

The biology knowledge is indispensable in my daily routine at my job. Nursing is not just a series of tasks, or else you could train monkeys to do it.

No matter what you decide to do...its your life and you have to pick what makes you happy. Don't let other people's reactions decide your life.
