Hi all! I am a nursing student at Saint Francis University in Loretto, PA. I started my junior year at the beginning of the semester, however due to medication reactions I lost my medical clearance for clinicals and was unable to get it back in time. In the mean time, to avoid taking a year off, it was suggested to me to pick up a social work major. I have for the remainder of this semester. However, I am somewhat bored with the classes, I think mainly due to the fact that we are learning a lot of counseling and such. The majority of the classes seem like review to me. If i stay with the double major I will graduate in Fall 2014. If I drop the social work major, I will graduate in the spring of 2014. My mother is a nurse and is telling me that the second degree will benefit me not only professionally but in terms of money. What I want to know is all of your opinions on this matter? Will staying for one more semester to get a second degree in social work be worth it when I can already be working as a nurse? CAW
