Give me some idea...

At my school the professors are strict but nice and arnt out to get you. Yes it is like a boot camp and they push you harder and harder. For me it was hard this semester (my 1st) because you dont know how to study and dont know how to take nursing exams. Test are completely different. It is possible and it is alot of fun! Good luck!!

Do not think that because you have a degree, the program will be easy. Trust me, I have classmates with Chemistry, Engineering, and Computer degrees and they struggle, if not do worse than, other students. It is a different type of process. You have to combine several fields of knowlege and use them to restore patients' health, or help them finish their lives with dignity and compassion. If you go into nursing "just for the money" you will probably hate your job. You're asked to make life and death decisions, not make mistakes, and wipe fecal matter off someone's hiney at the same time. But, I love school and the hospital I work at as an aide. The way I got a grip on the nursing process and did well from my very first exam on is to get an NCLEX study guide. It really gears you up for critical thinking and the nursing process. Good luck and enjoy class. I have found my positive attitude helps a great deal.
