Path to career in nursing - advantage to health science to nursing?

I am currently a freshman interested in becoming a pediatric nurse.
Is there any advantage to majoring in Health Science, getting my BS in Health Sci and then completing a 12 month/2 year accelerated BS Nursing program rather than just majoring in nursing and going straight to work from there?

And yes, I know it's not "straight to work", but will the extra degree help me in getting a job, achieving a higher salary, advancing in my career?

I work in healthcare and to be honest with you if you want to work on a floor as an RN all those extra degrees wont help to much. What will really matter is experience. Now lets say after you work for a couple years you can certainly use all of those degrees to get a nurse manager postion. It all depends on what you want to do. If you want to work with Pt's on nursing floors an RN will make money regardless. then the more experience the more money. Rns are so in demand that once you get out there you will hav all the opyions in the world. Then again if you want to work out of an office maybe in admin. Those titles will bring you more money.

If you get your BSN in college, then most hospitals will pay for you to go back to school to get your masters and to go on further from there. (tuition reimbursement or prepaid tuition). It'd be two less years of school (just to get your BSN) and you'd have a two year head start on those that go about it the other way, two years of seniority, two years raises, bonuses, etc. Good luck to you!!!
