What a rude thing to say! There are exceptionally bright people in all fields.

+1 And they certainly would not be been failing or receiving low grades. That poster sounds like a troll.

You can do poorly in the organic chemistry courses med schools require yet do well in nursing classes, as the former does not lend itself well to memorization. Anyone who has gone the accelerated MSN route as a plan B after medical school admissions didn't work out can confirm this. Anyone without a complex, anyway.

Yes, they're not the same classes. Based on my experience with people I knew in high school who became nurses, you don't have to be super smart to become a nurse. This is not meant to be insulting. Rather, people should not be discouraged.

Would you want to be treated by a nurse that got a D and F in basic science courses even in an era of grade inflation?

Do you see their grades when you go to the hospital?

Why are you avoiding the question? I think we all know the answer.
