Hello-
This question is directed towards those nurses and nursing students who had received a b.s. (Preferably in Biology) prior to attending nursing school. I currently have a degree in Biology (pre medicine) and am considering applying to the BSN program at MSU Denver for Spring 2019 start. I have talked to numerous former Biology students who are currently enrolled in nursing programs and they all say the same thing when I ask about their programs ease and intensity and whether or not a degree in Biology prepared them for nursing school. I get a resounding, "This is the easiest thing I have ever done." Honestly, these responses terrify me more than they ease my mind. Can nursing school really be as easy as my friends say or are they just trying to sound "cool?"
So, to all my fellow Bio friends, did your degree in Biology prepare you for nursing school and in what ways? Where do you feel that your background in Bio helped and where might it have hurt?
Thank you.
