Just wanted to say hi to everyone, Im glad I found this site! Im so anxious already and I dont start for another couple months.

Id be grateful for any tips you can give a beginner to make this transition less of a shock for me.

Thanks! :monkeydance:

There's plenty of tips in these threads....you can do a search using the menu in yellow near the top or just search through the pages.

Congratulations and just take NS one day/week/semester at a time....that's the best way to get through feeling overwhelmed at time!! Good luck!

Hey there! Nice to meetcha! You have a couple months to prepare yourself. I sat down a couple years ago and tried to make a 5 year plan. Just something to aim for and give myself some goals. So far it has really helped me with motivation and such! Just a thought!

Do your best and remember with clinicals it wont always be easy but you just have to get through it. Patients > anything else!

Good luck to you mate! Run around the forums a bit and get to read the posts :)

Hi there... welcome to the world of student nursing :-)

My biggest tip would be to be organized to a fault, keep up with your reading, and take things one week at a time so as not to feel overwhelmed.

Congrats!
