what was the hardest nursing class you took?

What class in your nursing program did you have the most trouble in and did it seek most people failed out of?
As in grades and comprehension or personality type clash?Psych clinical was very hard for me, I was an immature 21 yr old in a teen unit. I got an A based on assignments and tests but I loathed going because I had no idea what I was doing, it was terribly uncomfortable for me. I'm remembering the night before anxiety. But comprehension difficulty, if this doesn't include pre req's, I think research. I understood the theory but I had no inspiration., my project had no meaning for me. It was just a tedious assignment, if I could do it now..Much of it was due to my age and maturity at the time. I could memorize anything and I tested well, I was just so emotionally young with minimal life experience and it came out when we went beyond tasks.

My hardest has been Med/Surg learning all the fluid imbalances, electrolytes, acid bases, assessments and interventions for each one. It's a lot to take in! Big exam on it next week.Pharm was also difficult but I passed with a B+

Med-surg II. I was suddenly faced with a demanding, strict clinical instructor on a post-surgical cardiac unit. To say I had not been sufficiently prepared for that experience would be an understatement. We lost quite a few of our classmates that semester. Luckily, I survived and was much smarter, in all ways, for Med-surg III.

Med surg II Resp. And GI. Psych clinical I hated ! PEDs was also hard for me.

None of the nursing classes were particularly difficult IMHO. I was able to maintain good grades while working full-time. In fact, I thought the nursing coursework was relatively breezy compared to the science prerequisites.On the other hand, I struggled with a few of the prerequisites. A&P I and microbiology were challenging for me, but not as challenging as remedial math.

Agree with Commuter. My pre-requisite chemistry was much more challenging than any of the nursing courses I took during my BSN.

Pediatrics, because I wasn't into it. I passed by only 2 points.

I also had a hard time with peds, but because working with sick kids got to me a little too much.The classes that took out the most students were Fundamentals and Maternal-Fetal. Fundamentals's failures were probably because of the reality shock that is nursing school. Maternal-Fetal's failures were mostly women who had gotten a little too cocky--they thought that because they had given birth before, the class would be a piece of cake. They were proven wrong.
