Can i become a nurse practitioner with a biology major???

-I am an undergrad biology major..

It depends on what program you take. I took a college credit course this summer for Anatomy and Physiology I, and there was a girl in there that had to take the course even though she had already graduated with a major in biology because she never took that specific class in college.

You can definitely become one, but depending on the program you are set up in, you may have to take some classes that you never took in college that the course requires. You don't need to take them at a university that is going to make you pay 3000 a class either. This girl went to a good university where she got her degree and was taking this extra course at a community college just for the sake of appeasing the people that run the nurse practitioner program she was getting involved in.

the funny thing about this question...is that your a biology major and yet you don't know the answer to your own question...,.NOW THAT'S funny.
