Bad at bio and chem love anatomy

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hi I've recently decided to go to college for nursing but hate bio and chem. I took chem sophomore year hated it(too small to visualize) but I loved anatomy junior year it so easy for me and was the only class I've ever enjoyed. I'm currently taking ap bio and I get so bored it's not that it's difficult but rather so much to remember. It's starting to make me wonder if nursing is not the right path. Please help!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Nursing school has very limited basic science classes. The microbio is watered down, and there is not organic or physical chem.

You will be fine academically in a BSN program.

You will find that nursing school is "not that difficult" in each piece of information, but difficult because of the massive amounts of information. In my undergraduate program, it wasn't very unusual to have 25 thick chapters on an exam, and two exams with three papers, four random assignments, and three or four 12-hour clinicals in a week. It's not advanced differential equations, but it can be a ton of information to understand and memorize, depending on your program and school. It is, for many people, difficult because it is "so much to remember." But again, that depends on your school.

I'm planning on going to Simmons so I'm assuming it'll be an advanced curriculum. Hopefully the study groups will be helpful.
