So true, Spanish fluency is a skill that is actually useful and applied in the field. I too got the impression that a minor doesn't really help. Thank you for your responses cleback and caliotter3! I really appreciate it =)

Hi guys, I am going to be an official nursing student this coming August! =) I was just wondering from a nurses perspective if employers (hospitals/doctors offices) are impressed with academic minors at all when hiring a nurse? I am thinking of getting a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing with a Biology Minor and Psychology Minor. Only reason why I am considering minors is because every semester the core nursing classes are below full time units(6-9 units per semester), and I must be full time (12 units) to receive financial aid. I am currently entering a Bachelors of Science Nursing school in Southern California and I have the opportunity of getting both a Biology and Psychology Minor. The biology minor is only 2 classes (7 units away) because i used to want to be a biology major before getting accepted into a nursing program. Also, the extra pretty easy psychology classes help me to maintain atleast 12 units during every semester in nursing school. So my main question should I get these bio and psychology minors along with my BSN? Does it give me an advantage/ set me apart when applying for nursing job at a hospital? Or do employers not really care about minors? Thank you so much for taking the time to read this! I look forward to any responses.

Thank you kmalone! I hope so. Looks like you're gonna get in too I submitted online app first then submitted additional documents like transcripts. I am not sure if any method is preferred but I liked turning in the application first. Hope we can be classmates, best of luck! :)

Hi guys! Turned in my application recently and am so excited/anxious. This is definitely my dream school but it is also intimidating to see how big the application pool is. I have a total of 36 points. 4.0 in prerequisite courses (10 out of 10 pts) 3.82 overall GPA (6 out of 6 pts) English & Reading TEAS (6 out of 6 pts) Math TEAS (5 out of 5 pts) Volunteer Experience (+200 is 3 points) CSUCI student (6 points) Unfortunately not fluent in spanish/ASL, no military experience, and don't have a bachelors degree, yet!! I really hope I am competitive enough to get in. Best of luck to all! :)
