What is better BA in Psychology or Ba in Nursing???

I have a very taugh time deciding in what major to get my degree. I came to USA 2 years ago from Ukraine. In Ukraine I studied linguistics/English language for 3 years in the university. I send my transcripts to the San Jose State University and after evaluating them they gave me 83 units.
All the classes I took in the uni were languages/ linguistics related. I did take geometry, algebra, chemistry and biology in the school, but I did not evaluate my school transcripts. Now I am thinking would my 83 units count if I decided to get a degree in Nursing? Or maybe it is better to get Ba in Psychology? I am really tired to think what my major should be. I think i would be a good psychologist because I have a good listening skill and like to help people. Icould be a nurse, but there is one problem I faint when I see blood in real life sometimes, however I like to watch different shows on tv about medicine. Please help me with a good advice

You cannot be a psychologist with only a bachelor degree. You will need a master's degree or PhD in order to do that. You will have a very difficult time finding employment with a BA in psychology because the jobs just aren't there.

You would do better in nursing. We don't really see that much blood, and you do get used to it. I fainted the first time I had to give someone a shot, now I can do it without flinching. You can also go into nursing with just an associate of applied science degree. A bachelor degree doesn't teach any more nursing but just focuses on the management or research stuff. And a master degree in nursing has even less to do with nursing than the BSN. Jobs for nurses are plentiful right now and the opportunities are out there. You could also go into psych nursing if you wanted to.

If you get a BA in psychology, you will need to go on to graduate school to actually be able to do anything in the field of psychology, to actually practice on people.

Nursing, on the other hand, is in very high demand right now and you can work straight out of undergrad after you get your BA. Nursing jobs are extremely easy to get these days.

However, since you don't like blood, I can't really say which is right for you. If you are willing to do a lot more (6 years after your BA?) schooling, then go ahead with psychology.

EDIT: No, nursing school is NOT hard to get into. The asker is already admitted into a school that has a nursing major--therefore she is already able to get into the nursing program. Besides, anyone can get into a nursing program--my mom did and she is quite far from a A-grade student. There was no waiting list either.

Nursing school is very difficult to get into because of a shortage of nursing teachers, so you'd probably be put on a waiting list to enter if you have all the qualifications.

To be a practicing psychologist your have to get your master's degree and a state license, however you probably won't have to wait to enter the program.

The others have answered your question about nursing (and I agree, nursing will get you a job faster), but I will answer your question about credits. Every university program requires general education credits. Your 83 hours will cover most of those general education requirements so you will not be starting your university career at the very beginning. They will not replace any credits specifically in the nursing program.
