First, I would like to know how hard is it to become a pharmacist? I have always wanted to be one.I'm not that great with science or math and I was thinking that if I were to get a tutor in college then I would be fine. I know that if I go to a pharmacy school then it will only take 6 years. Do i have to go to a regular college first or as soon as I come out of high school can I go straight to pharmacy school. Also I wanted to know if an RN would be a better thing for me. That's also something that I have wanted to do. I just want to know which one would be easier for me to do. If I were to become a nurse I wanted to know how I could get to the top if my class in order to work in the neurology department at a hospital so that I can earn at least 70,000 a year. I'm asking that a pharmacist, nurse, or just someone in the medical field already answer my question. Thank you soooooo much

There are a couple of pharmacy programs which will accept you straight from high school, but most require you to complete your prereqs before.
Pharmacy is way more selective than BS RN. There are many more nursing schools than pharmacy. The average starting pay for nurses is closer to 50k. It is not impossible to earn 70k, but it will take several years and working the odd shifts.
