Hello!

I'll be starting the second year of an ADN program this September. To those in similar programs who have already graduated or are near graduation, is the second year easier than the first? Just curious.

TIA!

Only in the fact that you are more comfortable with the nursing school approach. Content becomes more difficult and you must apply it to everything you have already worked to understand. I will admit that I stopped working quite as hard as I did the first year. My final semester felt like a breeze because my youngest started 1st grade and I finally had alone time to study. I also stopped striving for the A.

Mine was harder, we just had fundamentals and nursing concepts first semester and it was cake, second semester it got real very fast. We had OB, Mental health, and Adult One. Very tough semester but every school is different as far as how they structure their program.
