I agree that a good instuctor makes all the difference. So far Med-Surg has been my most challenging class. Partly because it was taught by two different teachers with two different testing styles, and not enough time for us students to absorb the huge amounts of information thrown at us.

I start Peds and Maternity on Mon, so I might change my mind about my most difficult course.

To those who think nursing research was your least favorite/hardest course...

was it the statistics or was it research design etc.?

Ahh yall are scaring me. I start my peds rotation in two weeks! I just finished up Obstetrics and found it to be pretty simple, but then again, I think we had a fairly 'easy' instructor. She's very laid back and nice. I've always heard that peds is the worst, but the other students seem to be doing fine on the tests, so I'll try not to worry too much!

Chemistry is by far the WORST course we have to take. For me at least lol. It just doesn't click with me and I studied my brains out and only passed with a 72.

I would have to say assessment during the RN portion of school. Humongous reading assignments and class consisted of a student portraying someone with a medical diagnosis, (sort of like the Seinfeld episode in which Kramer portrays someone with syphylis, LOL), you have to assess in front of the whole class, give a medical diagnosis, medical tests to run to confirm dx, then write a huge paper about it every week. This was only a one credit class that should of at least of been a 3 credit class according to the time spent in class.........not to mention the homework that required a Merck Manual to do! :angryfire

I would have to TOTALLY agree. I had pharmacology and assessment together, and I had an A in Pharm and not as great in assessment. It is definately the hardest so far.

For prereqs, Statistics

For majors, it's Pharmacology hands down!

with regards to clinicals, I am not a big fan of Community Health Nursing.

Good thing I'm a very patient person! hihi!

Most time consuming pre-req was A&P, pre-req I hated the most was a tie between Stats and Micro. Nursing class I've found the most difficult is definitely Pharm.

And I don't get a kick out of Nurses-Eat-Their-Young courses either Retour_Divin, I just try to survive them!
