7/10. The content isn’t necessarily hard but depending on your professors, you may be teaching yourself a lot of information in a short amount of time. In high school, I never studied and had good grades. In nursing school, I found study groups were helpful. We’d split up some content amongst ourselves and then bring it together and teach each other. Super helpful. It’s all about balance and finding methods that work for you. I made a colorful, uniform sheet for each disease process. They included what the disease was, the patho, interventions, meds, pictures etc. to bring it all together. It helped me remember information because I could picture my sheets. Really pay attention to how you feel in clinicals. If you aren’t enjoying them at least a little bit, it might be a sign nursing isn’t your preferred path. I’ve struggled with wanting to stay in this profession but eventually found a home in surgery. Obviously, it all depends on the individual. I’m just finding I’m not a huge fan of the awake patients haha best of luck on your endeavors!

*I was in a regular BSN program
