Sociology was an interesting class that has helped me in my career.
There are different social classes in America. In general, the poor tend to be in worse health, often seek healthcare when their disease processes are far advanced, and are generally treated differently than others who enter the healthcare system. Sociology has helped me to be cognizant of how socioeconomic status can impact a person's health.

After seeing a few threads from students about what non-nursing courses to take, I started wondering about the non-nursing courses that have been the most useful in my career so far.
I had a BA in English when I started nursing school. Newswriting taught me to document accurately, using as few words as possible.
World Religions and Spanish, both of which I took in high school, were very useful in nursing school, though I haven't used them in my career yet.
What non-nursing course(s) has been the most useful to your nursing career?
