I have read so many threads here that go back and forth about how easy or hard nursing school is. I hope that you can tell me more...are the people that say that nursing school isn't so bad genuises? :wink2: Are the people that really struggle coming from less than average backgrounds in high school? I have a degree in psychology and secondary education from a good university but I worked hard for my B average... does that mean nursing school is out of my league... and please don't sugar-coat it by saying that if my dream really is to be a nurse then I will do fine, etc.... Please be honest: are all you successful nurses out there "super smart"? :)

What is going on here? It is SO depressing to read about so many of you unhappy in your jobs. Does anyone have anything encouraging to say about nursing? I recently decided to apply to nursing school and these posts are making me so nervous. Right now I have a dream job-- I teach high school psychology-- I work 6:30am to 2:30pm and have very little work to do outside of school...even with perfect hours, perfect co-workers, perfect location, etc. some jobs are not all that they are cracked up to be and I really believe that I have a passion for nursing... AM I CRAZY???
