Which major i should persue?? pharmacist or bsn?? i'm 32f and in current pre-med college,,?

If you're looking for a shorter degree, BSN is your answer. For Pharm.D., you'll have 2-4 years of undergraduate work (to complete the required prerequisites -- some schools now require a BS degree before applying), followed by the 4-year Pharm.D. coursework. After that you're probably looking at a 1-2 year residency (it's not technically required by the schools at the moment, but professional organizations have made it a goal/mandate, and many employers already require at least a 1-year residency; many more are set to follow). The good news is that the residency is paid a little bit, probably around 1/3 of a staff pharmacist's salary, depending on the specific program.
