Hello, I am currently finishing up my last year of prerequisites to apply for nursing programs early next year. I have noticed that I am only about 5 classes away from graduating with a double major. My first major in in Liberal Arts: Biological and Physical Sciences, and I am considering doing the 5 class away major of Human Services. I am not sure if I can benefit more having that extra degree or if it is a waste of my time and to focus more on the sciences needed to graduate. I am attending a community college and the degrees are associates. I am applying to my college's ADN program. Thank you! :)

Multiple associate degrees are not really useful. concentrate on nursing.

You might get personal satisfaction from the degree and you might feel that the knowledge gained enhances your nursing practice, but it won't benefit you professionally as a nurse.
