What is the difference between majoring in Nursing and taking Pre-Nursing in college?

I am looking at colleges and I want to get my BSN. What is the difference between going to a college where I can major in nursing or going to a college where I can take pre-nursing, and then major in something else (like probably some sort of science)
Because some college provide nursing as a major or they have pre-nursing and you choose a different major, like a science.
I don’t understand the difference. I just want my BSN.

    If you enter as a pre-nursing major, you will have to apply for the nursing program later on in your sophomore or junior year. However, you have the option of changing career paths later on if you choose to do so. If you enter as a nursing major, you should be guaranteed admission into the nursing program and graduate with a 4-year BSN degree, so long as you meet all the necessary requirements. You can only obtain your BSN if you finish off your 4-year education as a nursing major. They usually have pre-nursing so you can fulfill your prerequisites first, and they can see that you are dedicated to nursing.
