Major choice: Pharmacy or Nursing?

Thanks for those suggestions!
I wanted to shadow a Nurse or a Pharmacist, but I took AP English so I didn’t have to do our Senior Project (job shadowing).

And for the Pre-Pharm and Pre-Nursing courses, I see that Pre-Pharm is just mainly the course classes like Bio, Chem, Math, English, Microbio, Physics and Foreign Language ([University of Texas - College of Pharmacy - Pharm.D. - Criteria for Required Pre-Pharmacy Courses](http://www.utexas.edu/pharmacy/admissions/crit.html)). But for Pre-Nursing, it’s:
Biology
Microbiology
Anatomy
Physiology
Chemistry
Statistics
Nutrition
Pharmacology
English
Government
US History
Psychology
Growth & Development
Visual - Performing Arts
First-Year Signature Courses
Global Health
Communication in Health Care
Ethics of Health Care
Nursing Research

which seems like A LOT more than Pre-Pharm. My question is, does Pre-Pharmacy not require any electives or Gov and courses like that? (Because some of the AP tests I’m taking might be used for elective credits), and are any of those Pre-Nursing courses electives that can be fulfilled with credits earned from AP tests?
Thanks!
