Nursing or Pre-Med?

We really need some advice…My senior daughter is trying to decide whether to go nursing or pre-med. She is very smart–35 ACT, 4.00 GPA and she also gets along great with people and has a very well-rounded resume. Until our visit to TCU, she has ALWAYS said that she wanted to do nursing…she has shadowed a nurse anesthetist and a NICU nurse practitioner and also has expressed interest in being a transport nurse. But since that visit a couple of weeks ago, she is now saying she might want to be an OB/GYN. My thing is I am reading on here that med schools don’t really want to take nursing majors…that she needs to pick something else if she’s planning on med school. IF she gets the full-ride we are hoping for, I hate for her to waste any free years trying to figure out which one she will go for…also which one she chooses determines where she goes to a certain extent, since nursing schools are harder to fit than a pre-med major. Any advice is great appreciated!
