I need some advice. What should I do?

I was recently accepted into a BSN program! Yay!!! I already have a previous Bachelor's degree in the sciences, and I have already taken anatomy, physiology, microbio, and stats as well as all my lib ed requirements from my previous bachelor's degree. Due to having taken all those classes already, I'll only have to take 7-11 credits per semester to graduate with my BSN. My question is do I choose Option 1: take the 7-11 credits and be able to work/volunteer more? Or Option 2: try to take more classes and maybe work towards a public health minor? I eventually want to go on to get my DNP. Which option would grad schools prefer? Do grad schools care about credit load or do they mostly care about GPA? Would having a minor in public health make a difference in getting into grad schools? Is anyone else in a similar situation? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
