What is/was your least favorite subject in nursing school? I despised statistics. I took it over a summer, only course I took, 3 hours a day, five days a week, for three weeks. I studied another 45 (really, sometimes as many as eight hours a day) hours a week, had a peer tutor, and went in to the see the prof during office hours all three weeks. Squeaked through with a C-, which, truth be told, I probably didn't deserve. Maybe he just didn't want to see me during the fall, lol! A similar experience with Latin (why I chose to take that language is a long story, but let's just say I was misguided), but at least failing that course wouldn't have had such dire consequences.
Psych nursing was my least favorite, the clinicals were awful. To this day I hate taking care of psych patients.
A former boss of mine, who is now a successful psychiatrist, worked weekends at a psych hospital while establishing his practice. He would stop at a nearby Marie Callender's restaurant for breakfast after his shifts ended. He hated that job so much that even today, twenty five years later, he refuses to eat at Marie Callender's.
The one course I positively HATED was called Science and Culture in the Western Tradition, which turned out to be eight weeks of watching films narrated by an English fellow who blamed the Catholic Church for virtually everything that's gone wrong in the past 2000 years. :angryfire Even though I wasn't, and still am not, a practicing Catholic, I was offended by the negativity, and even more so by the fact that the instructor saw nothing wrong with it. After the class was over, I wrote a letter to the dean asking him to review the course content; I never heard back from him, but I did notice that that particular instructor never taught the class again. :)
