How hard is nursing school?

and what is it like? (going for my BSN)

Depends on who you ask. IMO, the content itself was not very hard, but the quantity of information and work that was expected (reading 5-10 chapters per week per class, writing 5-10 page papers, doing pre-clinical research the night before clinicals, etc) was very demanding and exhausting.

You'll get out what you put into it. If you are not afraid of hard work, you'll do just fine. It doesn't take a genius to get through nursing school, just determination and the ability to keep organized and focused and deal with your stress.

Good luck!

HARD! Lots of anatomy and bio!

Do you want to be a nurse? If so, no its not hard, but a rite of passage. Nursing classes will be challenging at first, but as you progress you will find that it comes easier. Good luck
