Answer:

The short answer is that both dental and nursing school will be difficult in their own ways, but which one you find harder will entirely depend on personal factors and questions that only you can answer. Each program will have its own demands in regard to the time and effort that you need to put into it, but when it comes down to gauging difficulty it really depends on whether you have a particular aptitude or passion towards nursing or dentistry. This is because having a drive to study something, and a passion for the subject material, will have an enormous impact on the ease at which you go through the program, especially when it gets challenging. Now, there are other factors that could help to influence your decision, such as the length of the overall program or how much debt you would graduate with but, again, how difficult you will a nursing or dentistry program will depend on which one you are more passionate about and therefore likely to stick to.
