I got a B in A&P and a B+ in patho. My A&P teacher was much harder than my patho teacher. I have said it once and I will say it again, your course will be as difficult as the professor wants to make it. We have two patho teachers at my school. One of the professors is quite easy and the other one is VERY difficult. Unknowingly, I took the class with the easier teacher. Also, it depends on how much you are willing to study. 2-3 hours of studying will not produce a good grade unless you have an awesome memory. I had to study for hours for each unit test (8-10 at least). It is a really great class and I think it will help me to become a better nurse because I have an understanding of pathology and how it works. In my opinion, all BSN programs should require it.

I know this is an older post, but I figure I will throw my two cents in. I think the difficulty depends on you and your professor. I just finished patho class and I passed with just shy of an A-. My professor was pretty easy compared to the other professor that teaches patho at my school. All I can say is that I am glad I took it with her because SO many people fail when they take it with the other teacher. So, it really depends on how difficult your professor wants to make the course. I am not saying I did not have to work hard, because I did. I probably studied 8-10 hours on each test. I know so many people who complain that nursing school is "too hard" but I find these are the people who only want to study for 2-3 hours. If you study you should do fine.
