Nursing as a fall-back to Pre Med?

In your situation, I’d suggest a university with a 2-2 nursing program where you don’t enter the nursing program until 3rd year. That provides time to take classes such as 2nd year organic chemistry, which often is when people realize they are not going to make it to medical school or vet school.

If she would be open to transfer in the future, there are some good nursing programs that are only open to students who have completed 2 years of college elsewhere. One is at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia.
