Has anyone heard back from the recruiter after interviews?

There unfortunately won't be a new grad program for Fall, based on what a friend who is currently in the New Grad Program told me. Based on what the friend stated, Stanford is building a new part of the hospital and will be busy moving staff there in the Fall, so there won't be a Fall cohort.

I'm currently a pre-nursing student finishing up my pre-reqs by next year, but I'm starting to have doubts as to whether or not I've on the right path. I've always wanted to go into the medical field to help comfort people, take care of the sick, etc., basically many of the same reasons other fellow pre-nursing students go into nursing for. However, I'm not science smart. I don't quickly absorb material and need to really put in quite a good number of hours of studying in order to receive a satisfactory grade. I'm fine with the studying and my grades, though not spectacular, are above average, but I understand that classes are science heavy once you get into the nursing program, and I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't pursue nursing since I don't easily comprehend science material on the spot. Has anyone else on AN felt this way? I've read in some posts that some people aren't just meant for certain careers no matter how much they try and I fear I may be one of those people. Do I need to be "science smart" to make it in nursing?
