You better believe it’s going to be hard and a good thing too, because nursing is hard. That’s no reason not to do it, though.
I hope you did all your pre- and co-requisite courses because you’ll have your hands full and if you’ve got to mess with other things you will miss great opportunities to learn more while in nursing school. I always took every opportunity I could to do more, learn more. I did a day with an ostomy nurse (man, the stench, but so much that I learned). I got to stand in on an inguinal hernia repair. I got people to give me lots of insight and info re: patients, medicine, etc. MY mistake was not being in a ladder program. When my back went I had not finished my 2 years and left with nothing but the knowledge and experience. Still that’s been able to help a lot of friends and family, so I don’t regret it. Though I’ve been out for about 20 years, nurses and doctors still think I am a working nurse because I stay on top of things and added to my skill set with an EMT course when my back was better, but not up to nursing school (and I had left the state where I had been admitted).
You’ve heard the Peace Corps motto: The hardest work you’ll ever love. Applies to nursing as well.
Being a good student is essential, but also being a caring person is needed–you see patients and their loved ones (if they have any) at their most vulnerable. You have to learn how to care WITHOUT letting it make you incompetent or overly-emotional so you don’t do the job you’re there to do. Very hard balancing act.

My daughter graduated with her BSN last spring. Yes, it is hard work but worth it. It pays well and is a secure and respected profession.

heyteach is right on target.
But the real question you should be asking yourself is do you really want nursing as a career? If the answer to that questions is not a resounding YES……..you’d better look elsewhere. (This is true of many professions.)
