Hi
that’s good that you’re planning & thinking ahead of time.
I have 2 kids applying to Nursing so I know how confusing the process is.

Have you gathered any info on " Accelerated BSN " ?
The " Traditional BSN " is for high school student to apply &
the " Accelerated BSN " is a " 2nd bachelor degree program " for people with a BS/BA in another discipline who like to go back to school & get a Nursing degree.

Your plan is not unrealistic, nothing is unrealistic.
Your D just need to have all the Nursing pre-req. classes done in college before you apply to the " Accel. BSN " program after she gets the BFA ( or any other bachelor degree ).
Visit the college’s website Nursing Program & they will have a list of " pre-req. classes " they required.

I don’t think a student can do a double major because the Nursing classes are quite intensive & the Nursing Program has a set curriculum starting very early on. They have to be in classes + clinical + lots of other things.

Some ( or many ) colleges have changed the NP to a doctoral degree.

Hope this helps you. Good Luck!
