Minors

So, I am need of a minor to bring my status to full time until I graduate. I'm 3 credits away from a biology minor, so, obviously, that's not an option. I'd like to keep things are relevant to what I want career wise as possible. Right now I feel like I've narrowed it down to chemistry or Spanish.

On one hand, chemistry would probably be a good choice because I plan on becoming a CRNA. However, the classes that are required for a chemistry minor are very difficult and I'm afraid that it'll damage my GPA (I'm standing at a 3.8/4.0 right now). And Spanish could also be good, but I'm not familiar with how difficult languages are in college and if I would be able to retain the information long term. That, and my background is in French (3 years of high school, heh), not Spanish.

Which should I pursue?

What minors have you guys had with a nursing major?

What minors are available to you at your school? I didn't minor, but I am a double major...BHS/BSN.

Either would serve you well.

How close are you to a chem minor? I'm a chem minor and I know we need a year of 200 level Gen Chem, a year of 300 level O-chem and one term of 400 level Bio-chem.....as much as I love chemistry, if I had to start that process from the beginning now (will be Jr year of BS in nursing this fall)...I think I'd choose a bio minor :-)

BTW, if you did a fun upper level bio elective like molecular biology....I think it would be very applicable to your later studies.

Peace,

I think Spanish is the way to go. You can have a lot more opportunities in nursing (and possibly better pay) being bilingual. Especially if you've considered travel nursing.

But, I would go for whatever interests you the most, which inevitably you would do better at.

What about psych? I had enough psych classes required for nursing to minor. I only had to take one more...
