Well I was just like you. Did really good in a my pre classes and I heard how hard nursing school was but thought how hard could it really be. But honestly you can't even compare nursing school to any of the pre classes. It's not that the material is that hard it the amount you have. Like just this week I have 2 chapters in skills. (which takes about 6 hours) In process I have 2 chapters. (which takes about 6 hours) In pharm I have 3 chapters (takes about 9 hours) Principals I have 3 chapters (about 9 hours) Assessment I have 6 chapters (18 hours) Then I have clinicals two days a week. Then after you read all of it you have to find the time to study it and actually learn it and remember it!!! Nursing school is possible. Don't let people scare you. If you want it bad enough, you will be able to do it. Just expect to have no life but nursing school! Good luck!!!
