I am high school student(senior this fall 2008) and right now, I am applying to colleges. I really want to be a nurse. I read most of the comments from other people, but everyones freaking me out. What they said was "It is so STRESSFUL" " You do not have a personal time at all" something like this. Is nursing school that hard? I got really bad scores on both chem and bio. Now I am sooooooo worried. Should I change my major? or just give it a try? help me...

A private college would not be nearly as stressful as a public one. See a counselor about those grades. D's will not hack it and you would need to repeat them to get the grades up.
Be sure you get involved in volunteer work at a hospital. It will suggest if you are cut out for it
and suggest to the admissions committee that you are devoted and dedicated the work. Nursing is an absolute marvelous field to be now. (I have been adjunct professor of nursing) The pay is excellent and responsibilities do not include any scut work.
Nursing students form study groups to relieve the stress and make some great lifelong friends in the process.Good luck. Psych nursing is great.

Many nursing school classes have a limited number of spots.... So you will need to have the top GPA in order to be picked to enter the nursing program when you get to that level... If you have a problem with Chem and Bio... get Tutors!

im taking up nursing right now and its really hard, but its not impossible. there are alot of colleges offereing nursing, so you have plenty of options. its ok that you didn't do so well in you science classes in high school because you end up starting all over in college. you should try nursing and see how you like it. if you don't like it you can always change your major.
