well for me, pharm was easy to understand and im good at math while i struggled with med-surg 1.
Im really asking this question b/c in our school alot of ppl were borderline passing critical care, like 30-40 ppl failing each test out of 110 student, so i was wondering if that was the hardest class, im getting scared for next semester! should i start studying over the summer?

Cardiac was my hardest. OB was my best. But I walked into my OB class knowing most of the material anyway, and I want to be an OB nurse, so that wasn't a shock.

Easiest = First semester Fundamentals
Hardest (so far) = Third Semester Medical Surgical II, both clinical and lecture!


It is almost over... it is almost over..... I just have to pass the final... it is almost over!

Pharmacology, medical math, and med surg 1 were my easiest.

Fundamentals and OB were my hardest.

I have not met upon a hard class as yet let me hope this will be so throughout the program.

I haven't started NS yet but heard that 4 of the 40 students failed out the last semester during the OB class. A few others were dropped from the accelerated to the generic program because they didn't pass the math test. So naturally, I'm a bit intimidated but I think I'll be ok.

EASIEST: COMMUNITY, PSYCH, Critical Care (had it my last seemster, so everything was clicking and starting to actually make sense, other wise this class would be hard if i didnt take it last and not have the knowledge that I did going into it)

HARDEST: OB and PEDS...for some reason those damn kids haunt me!

So far, pharmacology has been my easiest. It's obscenely easy. I never had to study for it. I just read my power-points during a class break before quizzes and I'm done with an 'A' grade.

Hardest; Pharmacology, I am a CNA so I had zero experience with drugs going in.But I passed with a "C"!
Easiest: OB, I have 3 kids, I had fertility issues before starting a family, my son was born w/TGV, so I have NICU experience, plus I read a lot of medical type books while I was pregnant and during my sons hospital stay (not to mention the nurses teaching me stuff) and spent time on the internet too. I came into the class with a lot of life experience and hardly had to open the book all semester. I was only 2 pts away from an "A" when I finished!
Med/Surg 1 was my second hardest and I am not looking forward to how hard Med/Surg 2 will be!

So far:

Hardest: Fundamentals, because I came into this with zero medical experience...though as the program goes on, I'm finding that having no prior medical experience isn't as much of a handicap as you might think it would be: I have no "bad" (read: real-world, not textbook) habits to unlearn when it comes to test time.

Easiest: Maternal-Fetal. I'm not sure why, I just took to it well.
