If you have a BSN did you get a minor?

And what did you minor in? It looks like a VERY good chance that I will get on a loooong waiting list. I am thining about working on a minor while I wait. If you got one what was it in?

I have heard minors are pretty pointless. If you want to go down that road consider double majoring

The ADN waiting list was too long for me, so first an Associate of Applied Science in Surgical Technology degree [scrub Tech], then accepted into ADN program. After an Associate of Applied Science in Nursing degree, then UTMB, at Galveston, School of Nursing RN-BSN online program for a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree.

So, yea I have two minors... well sort of. :uhoh3:

I looked into a mircobiology minor, But I didn't have enough electives open that so I would have had to stay in school an extra year. I graduate in spring 07, I'm still thinking of micro but more on a part time basis it would only really be for interest, I'm not sure what I would do with it as a nurse.

I jsut fing the little bugs interesting. other than random knowledge can anyone think of a use for some of these minors?

Hello,

I have heard that minors are a positive thing. My minor is in psychology and my associates is in Biology, (I also figure that associates are like a minor) and I also had a minor in Spanish from a university that I transferred away from so on my official degree it is not recognized but, has also proven very, very useful.

I would suggest either a Spanish/language and/or Psychology/Sociology or Social Work/Human Services.

However, my Bachellors is not in Nursing, (it is a Sociology degree) I am enrolled in a Master's entry to Nursing program. By the time I had completed all the nursing pre-reqs I had already accumulated enough credit hours to graduate so, I did! Luckily I found DePaul University's MENP program because becoming a nurse was my goal.

Best wishes to you.

I had to take so many fluff courses that I ended up with 2 minors and was 3 credits away from a third. Mine are in Psychology and (giggle) English. All my electives were English classes for the sole purpose of padding my GPA... Didn't get less than an A in any of them without doing a whole lot of work.
