No, you cannot become a nurse with a bachelor’s degree in health science. Nursing is a separate field from allied health. You’ll need to earn an associate or bachelor’s degree in nursing in order to become a registered nurse.
If you’re interested in becoming a nurse, consider a practical nursing diploma, associate in nursing or bachelor’s degree in nursing program. We offer both online associate in nursing and online bachelor's in nursing degree programs in select U.S. states.
