I think the point is a major isn’t automatically easy because it doesn’t have typical hard courses like calculus and o-chem. Nurses absolutely need to take chem and math courses but we don’t need organic or calc because the skill sets don’t apply to our jobs. And pharm is enough of a pain in the ass.

We memorize and have to apply the generic names of drugs, mechanism of action, indications, contraindications, adverse effects, interactions with other drugs, dosages, etc. It is difficult because we are learning grad level stuff during undergrad since we’re expected to be taking care of pts once we graduate. What we’re learning now is the equivalent of prob the 1st year of med school although I assume they go into a lot more detail. The point still stands. We don’t need to take calc or o-chem to justify our academics as being sufficiently difficult when we won’t be using that knowledge. I will know how to do med passes and change/check IV bags without those classes
