What college majors should be taken for becoming a pediatric nursing?

There isn't a specific "pediatric nursing" major. To become a pediatric nurse, you need to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree. After completing your BSN program, you can then specialize in pediatrics through various avenues:

* During your BSN: Some BSN programs offer elective courses or concentrations that focus on pediatric nursing. These are helpful but not mandatory.

* After your BSN: You'll gain pediatric experience through working as a registered nurse (RN) in a pediatric setting (hospital, clinic, etc.) or pursuing a postgraduate certification or master's degree in pediatric nursing.

Therefore, the major you should pursue is a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). Focusing on pediatric-related electives within the BSN program can be beneficial, but it's the RN licensure and subsequent pediatric experience that truly define a pediatric nurse.
