It will be another year before I start my first year of nursing, I will go a year for my LPN then another for my RN and hopefully I will be able to continue for another few years after that. My question is for anyone who is or was in nursing school. What was your most difficult class (nursing class)?

I'm thinking about buying sometype of book that will give me an overview of what I will learn my first year, so I can get a little knowledge in before hand. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate all the info I can get!!

Thanks

I just started my Nursing program. Pharmacology was difficult for me but it was very interesting.

I am very sorry to say that I haven't worked very hard in nursing school... but the class that *would* have been the hardest had I actually attempted to get that "A" would have been Med-Surg.

For me anything math related. Pharmacology and the one non-nursing which was the hardest was Algebra any Algebra class is difficult for me. Yet I really enjoyed Chemistry. Go figure!:rolleyes:

Pathophysiology was a pre-req but one of my hardest classes. I reference this text all the time, it is very helpful understanding disease process.

the "hardest" classes to me, med/surg and pharm and micro.

A lot of students find the endocrine information challenging. I'd recommend spending some time reviewing it in a med/surg book if you have the time.

Nursing classes overall for me have not been difficult, but pathophysiology required a lot of studying to earn an A. Eighteen hours studying for just 1 test in that class. Usually 1-4 hours of studying is all I need for a test.

Most definitely Microbio.

Thank you all for your replies!!

I think I'll purchase some type of pharm book and also the book that the current students are using for med/sur, it seems like most of the replies that I received are regarding these two classes, so this should help tremendously for me the in the future!!

Congrats to everyone that survived another semester of nursing school!!! Must say Med-Surg was the most overwhelming class for me, got a A though. Tip: Get a good NCLEX review book like Saunders. Good Luck:cool:
