In your opinion, what is the hardest class in nursing school?

Published

Just a random question,

What would be the hardest class that you have taken/ or are currently taking in nursing school??

Mine would be Med-Surg. ;)

Pharm without a doubt. The explanation in pharm usually comes down to ... "that's how it is". Med-Surg makes more logical sense in terms of studying since "this interacts with that, which interacts with this, which causes this" ... a nice smooth logic flow.

I'm a weirdo, because I didn't have too much trouble with adult med-surg or pharm...my hardest class was Theory and Research.

This was partly because I had an idiotic advisor who didn't catch that I needed statistics before taking it, and partly because it was just a difficult class. Either way, I struggled and cried and prayed through it :uhoh3:

I'm taking pharmacology now as I wait for acceptance into a nursing school. I know that it most likely won't count no matter where I go, but I'm hoping that I'll become familiar with the names of the drugs enough so that when I do it again it will be easier. I find that I don't have a problem with the mechanics of the drugs, it's just remembering the names of the drugs. This is the first time where flashcards have come in useful for me.

pharm is a lot of information to digest so I spend a lot of time studying, but med surg clinicals are the hardest!

I am starting an RN program this Fall and according to this post it seems that everyone thinks Pharm is the hardest class they have taken so far. I have worked as a pharmacy technician for almost 10 years now, 4 of which have been in hospital pharmacy, I sure hope that this experience will help me once I start pharmacology! AHHH!!! Already getting nervous and I do not start for 4 more months!! :-)

Pharm was the most difficult for me. My second most challenging area was Endocrine Med Surg.
