Just Accepted!

[BigWesYall]

Hey all, Ive been lurking the forums for a while now and just signed up!

I have been accepted to Nursing School for Spring of 2013 at Lincoln Memorial University at the Knoxville Tennessee campus. Was wondering what all i should know going into the program. Ive heard people say that you can't work while in NSG school, i have a lot of bills to pay, what have y'all found helpful in this situation? Did you work while in school? I really don't have a support system, my parents are broke and ill already be taking out a lot of loans just to pay for tuition. Any information about what i need to be doing, what to expect, and working while in school will be appreciated.

Thanks

HEY!!!!! Congrats! We are in the same nursing program! I was accepted as well into the Knoxville program for the spring. Are you going to the Journey orientation tomorrow?

Don't let nursing school scare you bro, it's not that bad. I take it week by week to a avoid being overwhelmed. Works really well to break it into bite-size chunks like that! Whether or not you work is per the individual. I work 36-48 hours per week, have a wife & 2 kids, and am either #1 or #2 in my program depending on the week and how the last test went, and manage a 4.0 average. Is it easy? NO! But I dedicate every single spare minute I have to study. I'm not saying you have to go that route, but rather point out anything is possible if you commit 100% with no excuses. I hold myself to a high standard and don't accept compromise. Nursing school will be what YOU make it out to be, and you will literally get out of it what you put into it. Best of luck bro. Go forth and destroy all obstacles in between you and success. You got this.
