Don't do a course before med that you aren't prepared to continue with in case your med plans fall through.

I'd do Biomed.

Although it sounds good on paper, nursing is not really all that great as a pre-med degree. The content, role and context are quite different and you may be better off building basic and medical science skills, in addition to humanities and social sciences reasoning.

I also agree with the above, any degree you do should be done with alternatives in mind in case medicine does not work out or doesn't happen right away.
