Nursing Courses

[MitchF]

What was your hardest course in nursing school?

[sphinx, BSN, RN]

hmmmm....well, for pre-req's physiology was tough, but I got an A, so I guess it couldn't have been too bad! I thought Chemistry was hard.....mostly the labs. They just all seemed pointless, like what did making soap have to do with nursing? Nothing, of course, even though the whole course was nurses. Microbiology wasn't hard but the teacher wasn't nursing oriented (even though this class was only taught to nursing students). We learned way more about nematodes than about viruses and bacteria.......all in all I loved the sciences and did well in them, but they were all tough.

I agree with the others about pharmacology though. It was tough. The lectures were so fast paced, if you paused to scratch an itch, you'd miss oodles! And the lectures were always in addition to what we read. So much information. Actually working on the floors is what really helped me the most. That and having a drug guide handy. I just don't have the brain capacity for the gazillion facts that class tried to pack in there!!!!
