Why are people always looking for the easy way? It concerns me that if you are looking for an "easy" school that doesnt demand the same requirements of most nursing programs, what kind of nurse would you be? No offense intended whatsoever but it speaks to your work ethic and character to even ask.

It sounds like you (the OP) haven't taken any (major) prerequisite courses yet. (A&P, statistics, micro, chemistry, etc) Maybe you should meet with a counselor at the school you are attending or plan to attend for your prereqs. If you haven't taken them yet, you are putting the cart before the horse. Not to sound harsh, but if you don't do well in your prerequisite courses, you won't need to worry about picking a school because it is likely you won't get in anywhere (sorry!). It is hard enough for people who are great students to get in anywhere. I think that your best bet is to test the waters with your prereqs and see how you do. If you don't do so well you may want to consider other careers in the healthcare industry (there are a lot of options!). Good luck!

Maybe you could consider looking into an LPN program rather than the RN route for the time being. This type of program is not college class oriented-so if you are worried a lot about math, etc. then maybe this program would better suit you

I have a four year undergraduate degree and have taken micro, A&P etc. at the college and community college level and they are difficult. Not saying LPN will be easy, of course not, but might be a better way to start out if you are concerned about RN school being too difficult. I personally think it'd be easier to learn as an LPN and get that really down pat and then move into a RN program with at least a base nursing knowledge gained from LPN school.

My LPN school was "college class oriented". We needed the exact same Micro, A&P 1-2 etc. as the RN program. I agree that it was a great start for my nursing career but found the classes in LPN school to be as difficult as in the RN program. You will find that LPNs aren't always treated with the level of respect they deserve so I think its important not to discount the difficulty of their curriculum.

Nursing jobs seem appealing to job seekers because they do offer better salaries and there are a lot of jobs out there. It is one of the few degrees that practically "guarantee" a pretty good job after graduation and passing the NCLEX. The reality is that it is one of the more difficult degrees to obtain. Most students take much longer than the listed time to complete a "2" year community college associates program or a "4" year degree. If you are looking for an easy way out, I would suggest another subject. Perhaps the guidance office at the colleges you are considering could give you testing to determine which careers would be a good match for you.

In any event, best wishes on your path to a new career.

there is nothing easy about nursing school. if its your dream you will do what you have to and get through it.

Nursing school is not easy. What is important is to have the "heart" for nursing. It is difficult. When you are in nursing school, it is "your life". It is very demanding, but the end result is so worth it.

Well Not easy per say but not extremely diffucult to the point 200 people out the first class doesnt make it because they make it difficult...

I started out at a college that had to 'flunk' out so many students each semester because they didn't have enough teachers staffed to hold the students..... It was terrible!! They nit picked and found everything they could to dump you!!! That was 15 years ago. From what I hear they still do it. Anyway, I ended up going to a different college, even moved 100 miles just to go to this college. And the first thing the instructor said on the first day was.... "we're here to help you learn to become a nurse, NOT to fail you out!"... And she was telling the truth. I've been a nurse for 5+ years now.

Nursing schools are so different, you just have to find out from the former students which one is right for you.

There really are NO easy Nursing Schools anywhere that I am a ware of?

I second that you should try LPN school. But don't go to a private program because that is too expensive. I am an LVN and my school cost $2,500 with all books included plus they gave us a pair of scrubs to wear on Lab days at the school.

Good luck! :)

Having gone through both the LPN and RN program, i can say that they are undoubtedly both extremely difficult.

Well, if 200 people out of the first class don't make it, it could mean that the school is "too" hard. It could also mean that they're "too" lenient in their admissions.

At $5,000 per class I'm guessing they're augmenting their income by getting as many people as possible to enroll and take as many classes as possible until they flunk out.

I agree with this...that 200 students flunking out means that the school is too lenient in their admissions!

My husband and me are both RN's and we went to 2 different schools. My school had very strict admission standards, and we had very few (almost no) flunk-outs......Because they only accepted people that they felt would make it through the program. My husband's school accepted almost anyone. (The joke was that if you had a heartbeat you could get into this nursing program!!) But his program had huge numbers of people who failed out! I thought this was so unethical - accepting students into a program knowing that they likely were not capable of making it through! That is messing with someone's life!! So wrong...but I am sure it was about the money. They just wanted to collect tuition dollars and who cares if they flunk out.....

But no matter HOW a school decides to admit or not admit people, nursing school is TOUGH!!!!!! There is no easy nursing school.

I went through 4 years of undergrad and earned a BS in biology before deciding to go to nursing. Let me tell you, I thought regular undergrad was hard, but nursing doesn't even compare! In nursing school your not just learning facts, your learning how to treat illnesses and save lives. There is no slacking or easy way to get through nursing school because if you do, you may end up killing one of your patients later (if you can pass the NCLEX first). Nursing school is serious stuff and its hard for a reason. People are putting their lives in your hands and everyone wants the best care they can get. So, nursing schools try to produce the best nurses they can. This means tough classes, lots of work and projects, learning how to work with other people who you may not get along with, and studying like your life depends on it! (because someone else's will!) If you are just looking for an "easy" nursing school you will not find one. If you do then I wish you luck, because if nursing school is that easy, than you will not be prepared well for the real-life thing and probably won't last through orientation. Sorry to sound harsh, but it's the truth.
