Nursing or history major?

Currently I’m a senior in high school and I need to start deciding on a major for college. My 3 interests are history, nursing, and dance.
I’ve always loved history, I get excited when reading about pretty much any kind of history. I used to consider archaeology, but this semester I’m dual enrolled and took anthropology and I was rather bored. The whole time I felt like there was no point in studying this.
This summer I just started to consider nursing. More than anything, I love to help people, and helping people with their health seems like something I would find fulfilling.
The only thing keeping me from nursing is the 2 known passions in my life: dance and history. Unfortunately, I can’t combine all three. The bad part about nursing is that it’s very intensive and I won’t be able to do anything else, like dance classes. I could do a double major in dance and history, but it’s not very practical.
A thought that occurred to me today is doing physical therapy and taking dance on the side as much as possible.
If anyone else has any advice about this, I would really appreciate it! I know ultimately I have to make the decision, but advice from others is always helpful.
