Honors program - Hiring managers, please read

Published

I am contemplating a decision upon being invited to my school's BSN honors program. I already have a part time job, family and of course 2 years of school left. So it would seem the last thing I need is more work to do. So my question is, directed to hiring managers/recruiters, if me and other candidates are even (and we would appear to be with GN status) does my candidacy stand out more having graduated with honors?

Thanks in advance for your time in answering this question.

Most hiring managers would have no way of knowing that you were in an honors program unless you somehow brought this fact to light either in your resume (which you most definitely should) or you emphasize it during an interview. If I were you I would point out anything and everything that puts me above the run of the mill candidate. Not everyone goes through an honors program.
