Hi all,

I really enjoy chemistry and I'm considering getting a minor in chem while I finish my BSN. Is a chemistry minor worth anything to employers? Is it a total waste of time?

Do you want to work as a RN? If so, then waste of time in my opinion. If you are imagining some other career down the road, I'd still just concentrate on the BSN and maybe consider a graduate degree in chemistry down the road or something.

I thought of doing a psych minor when I was in school for my BSN. I still took many extra psych classes but actually getting a minor was not doable. Just concentrate on your degree and take some extra classes if you can. It did help me keep my GPA high enough to graduate with honors.

I currently have a student who is seeking her nursing degree but also taking more advanced Chemistry classes. Her ultimate goal is medical school, which requires Chemistry and biology coursework.
