Your motivation will guide you.

As for the courses that you might think will be difficult - just set your mind to do them and you can do well, just keep at it!

I plan to graduate this May! The nursing program is tough, some of my classmates didn't make it. :crying2: It does take a lot of commitment. Keep up with the study material, ask questions. It also helps that I have a good group of study buddies. We study together, we pick the same hospitals to do our clinical rotations, we do all group projects together, call each other up just for moral support and we celebrate (go out to dinners, potlucks) after a tough exam or after final exams.

Good-luck to you!

well! this is real helpful advice!... not!

y'know, i was told all my growing years; "if you can't say something positive, then shut up!"

the poster was looking for intelligent, factual, encouraging, advice!

B's in high school are pretty good. You're an adult now, don't judge yourself by highschool.

I agree, it's your motivation to learn that will get you through, and a little fear, just a little is part of that motivation.

Best of luck to you!

There is quite a bit of science in the form of the biological/pathological sciences, and a little bit of calucations, but take it one step at a time. Don't fear what is way out there in the future. Keep it simple.

You're going to be great!
