BSN with minor

Hello~ 

Just wondering if anyone has done a BSN program and minored. I'm thinking about minoring in Spanish and/or Health Policy/Public Health. I was recently admitted to a 3-year program and my counselor (assistant nursing director) said some students do this and she thinks I would do fine. I already have some completed equivalent coursework for both minors, so I wouldn't be starting from zero.

Thoughts?

    Could I have done it, hell no

    If you speak fluent Spanish you will be much more hirable and I could use it every single shift.  But I view a minor in Spanish no more valuable than simply being fluent.

    Spanish would be my third language. I'm already bilingual in another Romance language, which makes it easier. Plus, I just enjoy it.

    I wouldn't do it but then again I worked through school which everybody said not to do... 

    I'd take the Summer off and do an intensive Spanish program in Medellin Colombia and put 100% into nursing school all semester.  Get United credit card, put tuition and books on it.  Pay card off/ cancel before fees and use the 40k mile bonus to fly RT to Medellin.  12-1500 a month for a Summer in Medellin. (assuming all this COVID BS goes away).  

    If I could go back and do anything differently I'd study Spanish when I was waiting to get into a program.

    Thanks for the advice! Why Colombia? Is there a particular program?

    I just really like it, Medellin is really cheap (cheaper than Thailand), lots of Spanish schools without heavy accents, friendly people, good food, good healthcare, etc. It's just both the place I like most in Latin America and the most affordable I have visited.
