nursing major, psychology minor?

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

My question is that I will graduate in spring 2016 with my BSN. I started college in fall 2011 and this basically means it will take me 5 years to do a 4 year degree.. although I've read that it takes most people 5 years for a bachelors these days; so if I do a minor in psychology, will that make it look less bad? I want to point out that I'm not minoring in psychology just because I actually really enjoy it but nursing has called me into the profession. How will this look to FNP programs down the road and how will this look over all after graduation assuming all goes good once I'm in nursing school. I also want to point out that I just turned 19

I plan to get a minor in Psychology from the local University as soon as I finish my pre-reqs at the CC for the ADN program I am applying to. At the University, it's only 4 more Psychology classes and I'll walk away with a minor. I'm doing this because my goal is to go back after I get my degree in nursing and get my bachelor's in Psychology, and possibly go higher than that one day. I plan to do Psychiatric Nursing (I actually want to be a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner one day), so I think for me this will be beneficial as I begin to work my way up the nursing ladder.
