i started into nursing while doing so i got the bachlors in pyschology.. Tammy...i assume you entered a degree program for the nursing degree...and while working on your nursing degree you just happened to earn a bachelors degree in psych?
Well. . . aren't the first two years of any baccalaureate program pretty much the same? I think that you would be able to get a double major. If you stretched it out to five or six years you could probably do it easily. I am not really sure though. Aren't there nurse psychologist type people? (I have no idea what the technical title would be.)
Sure, but degree programs of any type tend to be tight fit straitjackets. (I used to be in university administration.) Even undergrads need permissions to take classes outside of their degree program. The only exception is if you are not even in a degree program, then you can take what you want, but you are going to be at the bottom of the priority list as far as getting into a specific class, b/c you don't need the class to get a degree.
Universities these days are all about processing undergrad AND graduate students through the program so they can maintain or even improve retention and graduation rates. I directed a graduate level program for years (200 MS students; 300 PHD), and I can assure you, PHD students (who have the most flexibility in terms of what classes they get to take, well depending on their program of study they CAN have) are carefully monitored to ensure they are progressing along the required steps toward their degree.
I am not saying you can't get both a nursing and psychology degree on the undergrad level, of course you can. What I *am* saying is that would have to be planned out in advance and approved by your advisor.
