my B.S. degree was def harder than nursing

[resqbug]

I have two prior B.S. degrees and nursing was harder. It wasn't so much the material was difficult to grasp, but the grading system was different. We had to have an 83 on EACH test to continue in the program. Every test it seems we lost someone. Started with a class of 30 and I think 19 of us made it. Our NCLEX pass rates were 100% almost every year. Plus, with a regular degree if you get a C or D, you are ok....not the case with a nursing program...you can't continue...
