Could I double major in nursing and international relations?

The big challenge problem is that typically nursing and IR are in separate schools within a university, and it is often difficult to major across two schools.

You may want to do some more investigation as to what an IR degree involves- I know a surprising number of students who signed up for IR without really understanding what is in the degree. You might find that a degree such as this:

*BSc International Disaster Management & Humanitarian Response (2023 entry) | The University of Manchester

is more useful than an IR degree. Getting the nursing degree will qualify you to work with MSF & similar organizations. IMO an IR degree would be less useful than (say) a community health science degree, or even social work degree with carefully chosen coursework.
