Need pre nursing encouragement

[JoniL&DRN]

OK Ladies and Gents.... I am downright frightened. I plan to start nursing school next fall. (hip deep in Anatomy and Microbiology as we speak) I have a friend who is in the program I plan to attend. She is a pretty darn intelligent gal. Problem is .. . she is having a terrible time. I would say that she and I are well matched in the brains department. Can see where the fear is coming from? Her failing=my failing

Anyone out there who isn't near failing? I need someone to tell me that they are DOING IT AND SURVIVING...

You'll be fine!! You can do it!

I did it--I'm almost at graduation! Yes, it sucked at times--still does as a matter of fact--and I have NO life outside of school and work, but I made it through and so will you

For my pre req courses all i had to do was memorize and I would pass.

Nursing courses are different. You need to memorize and apply information. The biggest thing I focus on are nursing interventions. What does the nurse look for and what interventions does she/he make? This has helped me a great deal on test taking.

Hi Joni!

Everyone here has given great advice...and I just wanted to add my encouragement. :) I'm halfway through my first semester, I have two kids, and I'm getting As. I'm working my BUTT off, and that's the way it's going to be until I graduate in 2007, but that's okay -- it's worth working for! :)

You can do it!
